Takes a bit of configuring but it's fully mappable. I use my ps3 controller.

Try taking off in a fully-loaded f9

Ok, the thrustmaster works - but only the buttons.. The rudder, throttle and stick have no input?? (its definately on PC settings)

from main menu, /settings/joysticks

it should list every device your pc recognizes.

If you can't get the TM to work, try your console controller

I cant even use the keyboard to control it.. Its getting ever closer to the recycling bin >:|

And you picked "start flight" from the left menu when the scenario started, right? Otherwise it would just show a nice rotatable picture of a plane.

Look on the Wiki, I guess... that's where the troubleshooting info is

Yeah, i hit E the engine starts and that's about it.. I cant do anything else apart from fire weapons (The engine is set at like 50% and rudder seems to be set in prop planes as they just spin round.. [could be torque?] Its like having a jet car with no steering wheel...)

I will, thanks..

Oh, I think I get it... you need to either map the throttle to an axis, or unmap it from all axes and then map increase/decrease throttle to the keyboard. There should already be default ones mapped, but if the throttle is mapped to an axis, the axis would override the keys.

You might need to reverse the throttle axis, too. I used the right stick of my sixaxis for throttle, and every time I pushed up, it went to idle speed. Then for a while I had the rudder and throttle on the same axis, but I couldn't figure out why I couldn't maintain altitude without losing control of the plane

I will try un-mapping everything! Anyone got a mod that i can download as i cant find downloads any apart from Target Rabul and korea... A link or ZIP file would be greatly appreciated.

Go to "play online" from the main menu and there should be an option to login, or it will ask automatically, login with your account name and pass... I just checked, there's about 9 servers going right now, if you pick one that you don't have the mod for, the mod will dl automatically. Besides TR and TK there's ones from Richthofen's Skies and War over Poland. the "download mods" button should also work as long as you're logged in

However Rabaul is probably the finest of them all, it's just not much fun if there's not a lot of players. Too much flak, too far to fly. I use Tobruk for practice cause there's flakless targets and fast planes

Ok thanks, ill try to get it working first..
