Help wanted setting up joystick

[battguano]

I have tried all of the above suggestions; cleared everything, wiggled the joystick like crazy....every once in a while I am able to get one part of the stick assigned, at least so i can bank left or right, but i have never been able to get it so that i can assign rudder control, pitch, firing, etc. that is with my saitek. With my g940 logitech system, not a thing works...it doesn't recognize any part of the setup; the pedals, the throttle, the stick.... i'm about to just give up on CoD entirely. It's impossible to play without a proper control system.
