DOSbox use both these controls at once?

Yes, either with joysticktype=auto or =2axis.
What does the console window read? Are both joystick names present?

Hi guys, my first post here 😀

Well, I suffer the same problem as the initial author does, cannot make my F16 Fighter stick + ProTrottle work properly (joysticks 2 primary axis works, but the 3:rd axis (trottle) just don't work). I have tried w/o the ProTrottle aswell (using the fighter sticks own trottle), but no luck.

It seems that the DOSBox initializing the joystick good, but in game (Fleet Defender by MicroProse) it just won't work . Below is the DOSBox console message I get:

---------------------------------------------
DOSBox version 0.72

CONFIG:Loading primary settings from config file G:\DOSBox-0.72\dosbox.conf
MIDI:Opened device:win32
One joystick reported, initializing with 4axis
Using joystick CH F16 FlightStick with 3 axes, 4 buttons and 0 hat(s)
----------------------------------------------

Anyone have a solution for this?

Thanks in advance,

Feeling stupid and ignorant ... I found the fault. I just had to edit the following line in the config file, under the joystick settings:

swap34=true*

*(swap34 -- swap the 3rd and the 4th axis. can be useful for certain joysticks).

Now the trottle works aswell - with or without the ProTrottle 😀

Nice you already figured it out yourself. For more complex axis swapping
you can try the mapper (see the readme for some examples), like swapping
left/right to gain extra skills in flight sims.
