joystick doenst work

My joystick shows in the configuration screen in windows.
If I press settings I can also see the joystick working.

But the joystick doesn't work in game.

I changed this to the air con file:
ControlMap.addAxisToAxisMapping c_PIPitch IDFGameController_0 IDAxis_1 0
ControlMap.addAxisToAxisMapping c_PIRoll IDFGameController_0 IDAxis_0 0
I can also see the changes in the menu/settings

But when I fly my joystick wont respond.

Maybe an important note:
I use a virtual joystick (mouse -> joystick)
with https://sourceforge.net/projects/vjoy-controller/

anyone an idea how to fix this?

Re: joystick doenst work

I found the problem.
once the game was running the virtual stick wasn't updated anymore so that caused the problem.
Running the virtual stick as admin was the trick.

Btw, its really funny to use the mouse as stick. If you master it it is as good as keys or joystick.
INFO:
The problem with the mouse is that you have to keep moving it to change plane directions.
So basically; mouse is based on speed/movement and joystick is based on location.
Now my mouse is based on location.

Re: joystick doenst work

I dont know. I only have 1 mouse.
I dont think the virtual tool will make distinction between 2 mouses
