Any ideas?

I had exactly the same problem and spent several hours yesterday before getting my joystick to work properly. Initially like you I had absolutely no joystick control. I finally got everything working though.

The first thing I tried which did work was to save the config file then alter the key/joystick settings in the config file. Then load the new config file. This gave me aileron and elevator control but no rudder or throttle.

I load and save the config files from

C:\Users\Rodney\Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\

For me modifying the config file consisted of renaming Joystick2 in the config file to just Joystick.

In the config file I replaced

[HotKey pilotMove]
Joystick2+AXE_Y=1elevator
Joystick2+AXE_X=1aileron

with this

[HotKey pilotMove]
Joystick+AXE_Y=1elevator
Joystick+AXE_X=1aileron

and got elevator and aileron working.

I also got the joystick fire trigger working by replacing

[HotKey vehicle]
Space=fire

with

[HotKey vehicle]
Joystick+Key0=fire

The funny thing is I then got everything else working (i.e. throttle plus rudder) just by doing this

and then reinput your joystick axes in the

Aileron/ Elevator and Rudder boxes

Hope this helps anybody out

But I would swear in a court of law that when I first attempted the above it did not do a thing, it did not recognise any joystick commands. I don't know why after a while (a very very long while) it eventually did start recognising them so that now I can just change joystick and key assignments from the menu.

By the way my joystick is a Logitech Wingman Force 3D.
I think part of the problem is that the default setup assumes you have 3 controllers (I guess for those with separate throttle, rudder pedals, and joystick). Its great that it can take 3 controllers but for those of us with just 1 controller it really throws things out especially when you can't initially reconfigure via the menu.
