PS3 No Longer Recognises My Joystick

[axhat]

This is all I could find, sorry if its old news;

- Your joystick’s USB selector (3) must always be set to the “PS3” position before connecting your joystick to the console.

- In “1 Player” mode: If your official gamepad is on, you must switch it to “controller port 2” in order for your joystick to be functional.

- On PlayStation® 3, the joystick is only compatible with PlayStation® 3 games (and will not function with PlayStation® 2 games).

- When connecting your joystick: Leave the handle, rudder and throttle centered and do not move them (to avoid any calibration problems).
