    Thrustmaster Joystick not working :(

    Wanted to play flight simulator the other day so i plugged in my Thrustmaster Top Gun Fox 2 joystick into the computer, installed the game, and the axes are all screwed up. Its a pretty old joystick but idk why it would just not work all of a sudden. Any ideas?

    Can you remap the axis in the game or or with the Thrustmaster software?

      Not sure how? I've tried to recalibrate the joystick in the game but with no luck. It doesn't even register the Y-Axis movement, only the x and z axes.

          Just bought a new Logitech joystick for Battlefield 3, i think it was $35 at bestbuy.

          Not a thrustmaster, but it gets the job done.

            What should i do with them? I'm not totally computer illiterate, and I'm sure you're referencing the drivers that get installed? But i don't have a disk or software or anything for it

              did you calibrate everything with "game controllers" under the control panel

                Just tried the calibration and it didn't do much of anything. Sounds like I'm gonna be just buying a new one :/

                  Calibrate it in Windows Control Panel, you'll find the joystick in the Devices and Printers section.

                    Well according to the thrustmaster website, as long as you're using it via USB it should be fine. As people have mentioned, you need to calibrate it in windows.

                    Open the control panel, go to "game controllers"(or whatever it's called, should be obvious), find the joystick there and calibrate it.



                    If it still doesn't work, I'd assume it's busted.
