Team,
I have been trying to configure my MS Sidewinder Pro 2 for several weeks now. I have read all of the guides here and have put the suggested configurations into the user.cfg file with no success.

I have ensured that the joystick is recognised and configured correctly in Windows.

Issues are:

• The mech walks automatically. I can only slow him down.
  
• I can only turn either right or left depending on the entries in the user.cfg.
  
• I can't look up or down.

Well, you get the message.

When trying to use the configuration tool I only get the following message "Do you want to reconfigure?" and regardless of whether I say yes or no the result is the same.


Needless to say this makes it impossible to play.

I understand that this game is still in development but from a user's perspective if you are going to enable a feature then let us use it.

I also understand that this is not an easy thing to do.

I am running on Windows 7 64bit, SP1

Any assistance apart from what has already been written up would be appreciated.

I have the same stick, and I also have an X45 HOTAS assigned. I just jumped in a game, and the stick works, but the controls are backwards and I'd like to start adjusting them. I just need to know where.

I have the same M$ P2 Pro stick. While the throttle, pitch and twist work ok, the z? (stick's left/right - mech turning) works poorly (no analog turning code). Sadly as compared to MW4, I'm now driving a bus (with a poor suspension) as opposed to a Grand Prix race car. I'm hoping one day the developers will get around to improving it but they have much higher priorities in added content and bug fixes (both welcomed) to work on. Anyway, if you wish to become competitive I have been told "learn to use a mouse". In addition to setting up the joystick in the game options I have accumulated several modification lines in my C:\Games\Piranha Games\MechWarrior Online\user.cfg file. Note some of these commands (mostly toward the bottom) might be totally N/A with the current patch level. This is what I currently have in my user.cfg file (// = comments). Good Luck!
