IL-2 1946 is one of the most stable pieces of software your going to find and its very easy to setup. If we knew exactly what your problem is we can all help.

Its quite simple to setup your joystick.. Start the game and left click on Controls...scroll down to the bottom in the Hotas control section...right click opposite Power and move your throttle..your throttle will appear in the box...now do the same for your Ailerons... mover your stick sideways and it will also appear. Pull back of Elevators. Twist for Rudders etc.

If you find any of the settings are reversed go back and redo the setup by moving your joystick in the opposite direction.

You can setup all your buttons in the same manor. For example your trigger can be setup by right clicking beside weapon 1 and pulling the trigger. Weapon 1 is machine guns, Weapon 2 is cannons, Weapon 3 and 4 are bombs and rockets.

You will also see Weapons 1+2 This is used to fire Machineguns and Cannons at the same time. Right click opposite then pull the trigger to set.

IL-2 1946 is not difficult to get flying if you come from a flight sim background. If you are not familiar with flight sims it may even be difficult for you to take off let alone fight. Once you master fighting against the AI be prepared to have your ass hand to you when you venture on-line.

IL-2 has a huge online community. Most people use Hyperlobby to find servers with options set to their particular wants. There are currently 400 people on line at Hyperlobby. OR you can setup your own IP to serve only your group.

I've never seen a problem where the stick shows up in the Hota setting yet doesn't work in game. Anyone?
