Problem mapping Thrustmaster Warthog Axes to il2

[illegalBeagle]

Hi, got a new Warthog stick, been setting up a profile with Target. One problem is although I can assign joystick and throttle axes in the game HOTAS section before I 'run configuration' of the Target software with no problem (this is DX mode or equivalent?), once I run my profile configuration of Target software, the game suddenly does not see the axes. If I try to assign them in game in the HOTAS section, the game does not see them. Out of game, the Thrustmaster device analyzer sees the axes movements fine. Programmed button presses seem to function fine in game.

I don't know if this is a problem with the joystick or the game. My previous sticks had no problem recognizing and assigning axis inputs.

Any help appreciated.
