Joystick is all backwards

[Locutus_UT]

I have a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro. I installed it with the software from LT and use their profile manager. In BF2, I configured the joystick under air controls, but when I'm in the game, all the controls are backwards!

I hunted around for an invert, but only see invert mouse (and that didn't work). Any ideas on this one? I'd really like to be able to fly like the rest of ya!

Thanks,

Re: Joystick is all backwards

The control options are direction sensitive. So, for instance, if you click on the "Pitch Fwd" option to set it, be sure to push your joystick forward as both "Pitch Fwd" and "Pitch Back" will get set accordingly in one shot. Same applies to the other axis dual settings.

To fix, either reassign the keys, go into Controls.con file and switch it around there, or finally, since you say you are using Logitech Profiler, enable "Invert Axis Polarity" for properties of each axis.

Well you could go in an changes the key so they fit to what you do with you joystick. If you will fly right push your joystick to the right and so on.

I have the same problem. I turn my joystick left and it goes right.. Any ideas?

Lol, I think the amswer has just been said like three times.

Reset the controls and do it properly, and pay atention to Tyler Hudson's post.

Lol yourself!!
I've done it like 5 times and each time it does the effing same thing!!
Yes I have done it nice and slowly.
Yes I have paid attention to which axis i'm pushing/pulling etc.
Its getting to the stage where i'm considering having me a garden burning sesh!

Saitek in the future me thinks!

Re: Joystick is all backwards

Im useing a saitek joystick. Logitech have never been very reliable.

Make sure you dont have any profiles for your joystick loaded, BF2 just doesnt like profiles very much.

Have you tryed enabling "Invert Axis Polarity" in the logitec profiles as Tyler Hudson has mentoned.

Re: Joystick is all backwards

Okay, guys, the hard way (i.e., if all else fails):

Open up your Controls.con file (under "My Document\[username]\Battlefield 2\Profiles\0002" for your first newly created profile, .\0001 for the "defaultPlayer" profile, .\0003 for your second profile, etc.).

Search for the following:

c_PIYaw
c_PIPitch
c_PIRoll
c_PIThrottle

(Those are the four you typically assign to joystick axes.)

You'll find something like the following:

ControlMap.addAxisToAxisMapping c_PIPitch IDFGameController_0 IDAxis_1 1 0

Change the second value from the end to invert the polarity:

ControlMap.addAxisToAxisMapping c_PIPitch IDFGameController_0 IDAxis_1 0 0

Rinse and repeat for all lines containing IDAxis_x (where x is 0, 1, 2, or 3) that seem inverted to you in-game.
