	Joystick Configuration
		You now need to map any inputs which are not mapped to your joystick and/or verify its operation.
		Checking this option causes the game to switch your joystick intput command mode from Mode 1 (when flying) to Mode 2 (when in a vehicle) automatically at the start of a sortie.
		It is then a simple matter of assigning "Throttle 1" (from the mapping window under Analog Inputs) to the selected input of the joystick.

		Older analog joystick axes will not always use the full -1 to 1 range, and the centered value will be some area around 0.
		Analog joysticks usually have a bit of noise in their axis, which will generate a lot of rapid small motion events.

		Typical problem are that some joysticks doe not work properly and even in worst case the soundcard doughterboard stops to work when some otherwise well working joystick is connected to the joystick port.
		The joystick adapter can be quite easily built to a small plastic box which can be easily fitted between the PC joystick adapter and the joystick you wish to use.
		Because the use of extra buttons in joystick is not standarized, what pins are used on those depend on the computer, it is possible to make a circuit which works well with all kinds of button arrangement, you need to do some experimenting to get the second butotn to work.

		At this point you may find that some joystick directions don't register: this means that the connection between the joystick and the keyboard is not complete.

	JusTech'n - Saitek X52 Joystick Review
		The joystick and throttle are both comfortably shaped and they are covered in soft rubber grips that do a great job of absorbing sweat and keeping your hands from slipping.
		The joystick is generic enough that you could probably use it with either hand, but the throttle is specifically designed for use with the left hand.
		The 3 toggle switches at the bottom of the joystick are far enough away that you will probably not be able to reach them without moving your hand away from the throttle or the joystick.

		However, nobody who has looked into the matter has been able to find any evidence for the existence of this person (he is sometimes given as James Joyce, but that must be an unconscious transfer of his first name from the author).
		Joystick is indeed recorded as a slang term for the penis, but it appears in writing for the first time in 1916; this might suggest it was borrowed from the aviation term, not the other way round, though the dates of slang terms are notoriously unreliable.

		If you have a 386, 486 or Pentium computer, a generic joystick port may not be able to handle the combination of the speed of the machine and the rate of the joystick polling requests that Interplay programs use.
		For this reason Interplay and most major joystick manufacturers recommend a dedicated joystick card that can be calibrated to the speed of your computer.
		To test if there is another joystick port enabled, remove any card with a known joystick port or disable the joystick port on any known cards.
