Need help with joystick

I use my old logitech extreme 3D pro joystick but the problem is i just can't look around when i fly.To do so you need use mouse which is not an option or download some programm that allows joystick to immitate mouse movement.I downloaded joytokey3.7.4. and it allows to bind mouse movement to top hotch thingy but it just doesnt work in game.I can controll mouse movement in windows or any other games but not in BF1942. Did anyone have same problem? I have windows 7 .

Re: Need help with joystick

I experimented with that, you have to hit the look button and then apply a certain amount of mouse. While you technically can do that with joystick scripting programs, it felt like cheating (on many servers key scripting *is* considered cheating). And plus, you can't fly while looking anyway. Much better just to assign the hat button to different views.

I dont think it's a cheating because mouse pilots can use that feature and you cant. It just makes you equal.

Ok i solved the problem, joytokey is working. It wasnt working for the first time because of my joystick soft but i fixed that. So basically download and install joytokey and assign mouse movement to top hotch thing. Good luck in air smile

You're still having to hold SHIFT while moving the hat, right?

Re: Need help with joystick

I think i had the Shift button programmed to in joytokey when i tried it, but it made just full left or right directly, so no smooth transitions.

Logitech 3D Pro has a 8-way switch. I used joy2key as well for that having both shift and direction binded in one 'key'.

...

People who play with Joystick could upload their profils from joy2key + Air.con per Joystick. Like this we would make a Database.
