Gents (and Ladies?),

I would like to use my old Saitek Cyborg Command Unit for MWO, however, regardless of how I configure my thumbstick in the SST software, the game always uses the thumbstick to turn the torso.

I would like to use the thumbstick to accelerate/decelerate when pushing up/down and turn the mech (i.e. feet, not torso) left/right when pushing left/right.

Any idea how I can achieve that?

Thanks! ~tek

I've been using my Saitek Cybord Command Unit in MWO ever since I started playing. Unfortunately with one of the recent patches it's being recognized as a joystick. I've had this problem in other games but was able to solve by telling those games to not detect joysticks.

Please give us a way to disable joystick detection/use.

I figured out how to disable the mappings for the joystick. You can do this in your actionmaps.xml file which is located underneath the USER\Profiles\{player name} directory. The following is my actionmaps.xml file which removes the x and y axis bindings for the joystick:

<ActionMaps Version="10">
<actionmap name="mech">
  <action name="joy_torso_rotateyaw">
   <rebind device="joystick" input="" index="2" defaultInput="j0_axis_x"/>
  </action>
  <action name="joy_torso_rotatepitch">
   <rebind device="joystick" input="" index="2" defaultInput="j0_axis_y"/>
  </action>
</actionmap>
</ActionMaps>

If you already have other custom mappings, you can just copy the two action tags (and their children).
