Joystick axis modifier

[jameson]

Can't help with axis modifiers (no idea what they are TBH!), but you could buy another USB joystick cheaply and canabalise it to make rudder pedals and give you some more programmable buttons.
Even if your stick had a twist rudder, some planes do not have rudder trim in game as in RL, which means you have to keep it twisted against the force of a spring and this gives you wrist ache. The more you fly this way the quicker the wrist starts to ache when you fly. Having pedals increases immersion tremendously. You could fly without the rudder to start with but your shooting may suffer as a result. Good luck!
