Controller axes not being picked up by game

when you click to open the box does it recognise your keyboard commands?

Is it only the axes? If yes, then you could try to enter stick axes manually into whatever your key configuration savefile is - that's what I did when my axes weren't recognized, too, and it worked (save for having to reconfigure throttle sensitivity etc. everytime I log in, but that seems to be another bug).

So, open your Key config savefile (If you don't have one yet, just make one), search for the stick axes section and insert the correct axes.
Be aware, my rudder-twist (on my ancient Wingman 3d) axis was not just "Z", but "RZ", so you might have to insert special axis names there, too. What I did to find this out is to look into the corresponding Il-2 1946 Key config file. So, you might have to do this, too for your rudder/throttle.

have you tried just the stick on its own,no pedals or throttle connected

Raptr is like xfire, I had a lot of trouble with CH Profile Manager my G15 keyboard and Raptr.
Do any of the buttons work like the trigger buttons, when I first loaded up the game the axis were already mapped and the trigger/pov switches were also. Also check in the devices and printer section in the start bar and see if there are any unknown devices listed in the bottom.

Raptr is a instant messenger services that tracks all your friends on various platforms (steam xfire, xbox live etc) and tracks how long you have been plating certain games for etc.

I liked it but had to remove it so I could use my HOTAS and G15 keyboard which were crashing taskmanager every 5 mins.

I cant find where the game is stored in Win 7.

I can find the cof inis etc in the documents section, but with three controllers to map it gives 9 possible ways of screwing up and causing more trouble, I'd rather get to the bottom of why the game is not seeing the controllers.

Snake, the game responds (sometimes, intemittently) to button commands, but nothing at all to the axes.

I might try copy andd pasting from the IL2 46 conf. file see what happens

Could you try them out on a different computer?
