We may be the only people here with a Sidewinder stick.
I too have the Sidewinder; it's the ffb precision pro model & no, the throttle doesn't work.

Also have the PS3/PC thrustmaster hotas & can't get the hatswitch to accept axis settings for view panning (i guess because the hatswitch is a series of switches as opposed to axis) & so the only option for me on SIM (for an unrestricted freelook viewing motion & a zoom) is once again the gamepad & my frustration is paramount in that the only switch that has issues on SIM is the zoom mapping, & worse still, it will work on the 2 other modes I never play, lol!!!
Sure hope it can be sorted. I've tried the otherwise ok, default 3 map & viewing the outside world & zooming a chosen spot whilst flying is near impossible. Sure gives the fingers a yoga-style workout. Copying the default 3 map & being able to map the zoom onto the L3 on SIM mode would be the answer.
