regarding the keyboard commands?

no, you have to use programmable joystick software for that.

As Paradaz has indicated, if you want to customize the games keyboard commands to your favorite joystick, then you will have to do it via the software interface for the maker of your stick but outside of the EE2 game. The ones within the game are very basic, allowing you to assign the joystick X and Y axis easily, Throttle=Collective, etc. but for the most part you will either need to fly with one hand on the keyboard or using your joystick mfr's software interface to customize keyboard strokes to your joystick.

I believe your joystick has 12 configurable buttons, so click here for latest drivers (remember to select appropriate operating system first).

I have no idea if that joystick has a 'shift' function to double up on the commands otherwise you may be fairly limited. Just make sure you have the most frequent buttons mapped and you should be OK....next & previous waypoint, next/previous weapon, next/previous target, lock/unlock and probably the air/ground radars at a guess.

It looks like the programming facility (Wingman Profiler) is incorporated with the drivers so unless you using a Windows generic driver, you most likely have the software already installed.

unfortunately the joystick support in eech2 is a joke.

even if you can create a single 'virtual' stick like i can with my ch gear - you cannot map cyclic, collective and pedals at the same time. You cannot 'detect' and move them to be assigned - everything is completely manual.

for control configuration this is the worst i've seen.

the joystick config is exactly the same as the 'modded EECH'...so is that suddenly 'a joke' and 'the worst config you have ever seen' aswell?

What do you mean that you cannot map cyclic, collective and pedals at the same time? I've done that without any problems, can you expand on the fault?

I agree with Paradaz, I also have them all mapped at the same time.
Not sure why this is such a challenge for some.

it's not 'suddenly' a joke (...what assanine verbage...) since modded EECH - it's a joke all by itself.

some people have devices that also register as game controls - EECH2 seems to arbitrarily grab some of them, you cannot select an axis and simply move it to assign - rather you have to guess what it is with PART of the name. Just plain lazy and bad implementation all around.
