logitech extreme 3d joy.... no joy at all
 

hi sorry if this topic sounds stupid

got my new pc, everything is perfect and the game is smooth at high settings, a beauty, BUT my joy is not mapping buttons.
I mean, axis work (ailerons elevator etc) but I can-t shoot! I've tried remapping several times but no good

any help please?

I dont know if this helps, but when i need to test joysticks, (buttons or axis), i use a little and very usefull program, named Diview. It has only 40k, and you can google it and download, i think its freewear program. i often hack game-pads to do more precise controllers, and all the testing is done with this tool, including the buttons. Connect your joystick/controler and test the butons. It is also way much better for axis callibration than the windows program, because you can insert the maximum, minimum and midle values, and also input dead zones etc. I never had this caind of problem you have, so i can not help more, sorry. Can it be something burned on the electronic board? Or some plug disconnected? ...

After define - in Controls - function for some button, you remember to hit APPLY button?

Have you installed the Logitech drivers for this joystick. My previous joystick was also a Extreme 3D Pro and if I remember correctly you need to install the proprietary drivers to let it function correctly because with the Windows drivers you get only basic functionality. By the way, great joystick for the money. I would recommend everyone this joystick when on a budget. ;)
