Hi.
Recently bought Top Gun: FAW off eBay, and Fleet Defender on Steam. When I'm configuring my Joystick, (Thrustmaster T-Flight HOTAS X), the Joystick itself is set up alright. But when it comes to the Throttle, it seems to either bind to the Sticks rotation axis, or the indicator just freaks out.

I've tried emulating FCS and CH, and swapping Axis 3 & 4, but nothing works.

Could it be I've got a PS3 Controller, and a Thrustmaster Warthog Throttle and Stick plugged in?

Any help is appreciated.

Test in Windows applet and then test further by editing dosbox.conf: Joystick rudder control absent.

To quickly test joysticks inside dosbox, I wrote this Joystick Monitor program: joelmcintyre.com/joymon.html
You might find it useful while testing different configs and different joysticks. It just gives quick feedback on the 4 axis & 4 buttons that dos can see, no need to go through game startup.
