I got a Logitech joystick a couple days ago, and I noticed that BFV seems to be kind of a dud when it comes to using a joystick. Reason being that you cant program any of the mouse fire buttons onto a joystick, so you have to us the Joystick and mouse simultaniously, which really sucks. Does anyone know if BF2 will fix this problem?

wat do you mean? i can program all the buttons inthere if i want

Whenever I try and program my stick with fire buttons, I get a Save Conflict or something like that.

iv got a logitech extreme 3D pro and it works perfectly fine iv got all the buttons i want programed with several to spare no complaints thus far

I have the Logitech Extreme 3D pro Twisthandle Joystick, I'll try again tomorrow,

so your saying you can set it so the joystick controls pitch/roll? the only thing it cant do is fire buttons?

Can't you just go to customs settings or something. NO joy stick of my own so i am no use.

To use a joystick in BF, you have to turn off your joystick software, or else it won't work properly. You will get conflicts.

All you need are the joystick drivers.

are you trying to program the buttons with the joystick software or ingame?

if your trying to do it with the joystick software thats probably where youve gone wrong just go to the ingame controlls and do it that way like you were reprograming your keyboard buttons or something

Pretty much I installed the joystick, then went to BFV options, controls, then clicked on the space to change a button and clicked a joystick button to change it, And yes, my joystick does do the pitch and roll and all that other stuff, it just wont fire, when I try and save the fire buttons, I get a conflict error.

Rodster, I can just turn of my Joystick software in the control panel right?

I have the same joystick, never had any problems with it. Well, aside from never being able to figure out how to re-calibrate it and just reinstalling the drivers when it gets messed up.

But problems with the buttons I've never encountered... so it has to work. Sorry I can't help much more.... but I'll be honest, I don't know anything when it comes to this stuff.

to recalibrate it i just go to my computer> control panel and do it with the windows thing

**sorry for off topic**
What windows thing?

my computer>control panel>printers and other hardware> game controllers

If you have logitech software that automatically runs when you boot up, you will have to deactivate it.

You know that thing you use to set up you're joystick with other games? "The profiler". You may have a "W" or something at the bottom right of your screen, next to the time.

Once in the profiler go to "Options/global settings and then uncheck the "Start profiler at system startup" option. then exit out of the program and exit out of the little thing at the bottom right.

I hope you get fixed upand flying soon. C ya.

Okay, it's fixed, thanks for the help
