Joystick mapping problems

To repeat, my problem is with mapping my axes and buttons on my X52 Pro. I have no problems mapping keyboard input ( ex: mapped the M key as Map , saved , and the M key functions in the game ).
When I try to map buttons and axes from my joystick or throttle, they are not being shown in the Set Contriol box .The only functions that work off my Hotas is the throttle and POV hat.

I've figured out a work-around to my problem. I have edited the "confUser" file to map my joystick buttons and axes. As an example , original axes were :
[HotKey pilotMove]
Joystick1+AXE_Z=1rudder
Joystick+AXE_Z=-1throttle
Joystick2+AXE_Y=1elevator
Joystick2+AXE_X=1aileron

Edited to read :
[HotKey pilotMove]
Joystick+AXE_ZR=1rudder
Joystick+AXE_Z=-1throttle
Joystick1+AXE_Y=1elevator
Joystick1+AXE_X=1aileron


It's a tedious process , but at least I can fly and control the aircrafts .
