Controller axes not being picked up by game

[123-Wulf-123]

I am posting here because I am having no luck in the controls section.

I have three CH controllers (Fighterstick, Pro-Throttle and Pro Rudders), they work perfectly fine in Win 7 64 bit with IL2 46.

In CoD however the game is not picking up the controllers, either with the CH Software or without it and after numerous install/uninstall routines with the controller software the game still does not pick up the axes.

Be aware I KNOW HOW TO GET THE GAME TO SEE THE CONTROLLER by double clicking the selection box in control section.

The fact is that no matter what I do the game is not seeing the axes.

I know I am not alone with this problem so lets hear some of you experts come up with a fix please.... pretty please with cherries on the top

BTW running missions etc on autopilot the game is playing pretty good for me on a low end system no other complaints here
