BF2S Forums BF2 Joystick help

I have the same stick and have never had problems with the rudder, but my throttle does the same thing.  The calibration doesn't seem to be the problem for me, it is just how careful I am while mapping the controls in whatever game I'm in.

Here is my calibration then mapping routine:

Calibration:  Pretty straight forward, but before I start, I make sure the throttle is at about 50%.  When going through the various axes, I try to only move that axis, using the buttons on the base to signal that I'm finished and ready to move to the next step.

Mapping:  Again, start with hands off and throttle at 50% (approx).  That way the game isn't confused at to the start point, or which axis.

When it's time to map the throttle, I simply move it straight up (from 50%) and look to see that on screen it looks "backward", e.g. Speed Up:  Axis 3 -

you sun of a..... it worked, I went to "steer right" and turned the axis right, now when i turn right it turns right. Guess I did it wrong the first time, lol. thnx

Ok, I just got an Extreme 3D Pro joystick [logitech] and I got setup with some help from http://www.totalbf2.com/forums/showthread.php?t=27855 but fixed some things to fit me more comfotably.

The problem is, when I get into a jet or a helo and try to use the joystick, Axis 2 and Axis 0 are "backwards". When I want to steer left by twisting the joystick to the left, it turns right. The jet isnt much as a problem cause your not constantly stop and go but with the helo, you get all half assed backwards and crash.

I tried the invert mouse thing but that of course only works for the mouse. In the calibration, the joystick works fine

i just got a saitek st290pro and it does the same thing, the recalibration stuff didnt help and i know i did the bf2 control setup thing like 6 times and still, pull back to go down and right is left, also the throttle respones sux....any ideas

I'm not 100% sure if it is tied to the joystick functions, but you could always check and make sure the invert mouse option is off.

just to warn you after 6 (very helpful) months  my loggy packed up ...

it lost all calibration forwards and backwards ... basically it only register half backwars and 2x forwards,...
which means pulling up no longer happens ... Time to get me a saitek ..
