-Joysticks and Control Problems-

[skeletalsabaki]

:cry: 1. I'm trying to set up my controls just like they were in BF1942 but BF2 keeps saying that there are conflicts. Example: I want to use the right mouse button to reload as infantry but it complains that that button is also used for land vehicles' alternate fire. BF1942 didn't care but BF2 won't let me.

I could reassign the tank's machine gun to another button but I'd really like to have it as mouse 2 and still use mouse 2 to reload...I should be able to right?

2. I have a Logitech Wingman Extreme and it works great for other games, inlcuding BF1942. I try to use it with BF2 and it reverses certain controls with Jets and Helocopters again and again. The pitch is always reversed with jets but the throttle, yaw, and rolling work ok. With Helocopters, the throttle is always reversed, as is the pitch, but the yaw and rolling are as they should be.

I've reassigned them 3 times and all 3 times I wind up crashing because my controls are screwed up. I even tried clicking on "invert mouse" but it didn't help. I tried the drivers from the CD and the latest drivers from Logitech, no luck.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

1. BF2 has poxy conflicts with some keys and assigning them. The 1.02 patch addressed a few of these but there are still some keys u can't assign and in ur case it won't let u duplicate some keys even though they are in different modes. The thing is why do u want to use ur right mouse to infantry reload when it's normally used to infantry scope? Maybe u use another button for scope so it doesn't matter? I dunno.
Maybe the 1.03 patch that is due in a month or so may hopefully address this but for now why don't u do what I do and press ur mouse wheel to reload? I use the press mouse wheel to reload on all my FPS games and it's great.
Up to u though.
U could try manually editing it in controls.con and maybe u can force it to work in both infantry and land modes? It's worth a try I suppose.

2. The reason why ur aircraft and heli controls are fooked up is simple.....
When u assigned some of them you've done the opposite movement than what was asked.
ie- when it asks to assign the pitch forward ... make sure u push ur joystick forward.
If u pull it back then the end result will still look the same in ur options...
pitch forward [joy axis 2]
pitch backward [joy axis 2]
but both actions will end up arse about face when u fly.

If u have actually read and assigned them correctly and it's somehow reversing them for some weird reason then the answer's still fookin simple....
Assign the movements in the opposite manner.
ie- assign pitch forward to j/s pull backwards.

Other than that it's opening ur controls.con and manually typing in the + & - in the correct way.

ps- one thing that BF2 does have over 1942 is it accepts multiple game controllers. U can use ur j/s to pitch & roll and ur pedals from ur Momo racing wheel or woteva for YAW. Takes a bit of gettin used to though trust me
