  Hi Mathew,

  The easiest way to find your joystick is to to into settings->controls =
and map a button to something you can recognise using the GUI interface.

  Then exit flight sim and look for the entry in the flight sim that =
looks similar to:

  [JOYSTICK_MAIN {6F1D2B70-D5A0-11CF-BFC7-444553540000}]

  For example mine looks like this:

  [JOYSTICK_MAIN {6F1D2B70-D5A0-11CF-BFC7-444553540000}]
  LOCKED=3D1
  AXIS_EVENT_01=3DAXIS_ELEVATOR_SET
  AXIS_SCALE_01=3D64
  AXIS_NULL_01=3D36
  AXIS_EVENT_02=3DAXIS_THROTTLE1_SET
  AXIS_SCALE_02=3D64
  AXIS_NULL_02=3D0
  BUTTON_DOWN_EVENT_10=3DCOM_RADIO_WHOLE_INC
  BUTTON_DOWN_EVENT_11=3DCOM_RADIO_FRACT_INC
  BUTTON_DOWN_EVENT_12=3DCOM_RADIO_WHOLE_DEC
  BUTTON_DOWN_EVENT_13=3DCOM_RADIO_FRACT_DEC

  The other problem you may find is that there does not seem to be a way =
to change the active radio instead of the standby.

  You can get around this by editing the aircraft.cfg file for the craft =
you are using and telling FS it only has one radio.

  Let me know if you want more details on how to do this.

  Cheers,
  Stuart.

    Hi EPIC user,

    I just discovered this list and hope that there is anyone who can =
help me.

    I have an EPIC "D" card working together with FS2K. This works fine =
but I want to switch to FS2K2. The only problem I have is how to control =
NAV frequencies, transponder and so on. In FS2K this was no problem by =
adding Button_Down_Events to the fs2000.cfg file, for example:

    [JOYSTICK_00]
    LOCKED=3D1
    TYPE=3D100
    AXIS_FLAGS=3D79
    AXIS_EVENT_00=3DAXIS_AILERONS_SET
    AXIS_SCALE_00=3D64
    AXIS_NULL_00=3D36
    AXIS_EVENT_01=3DAXIS_ELEVATOR_SET
    AXIS_SCALE_01=3D64
    AXIS_NULL_01=3D36
    AXIS_EVENT_02=3DAXIS_THROTTLE_SET
    AXIS_SCALE_02=3D127
    AXIS_NULL_02=3D1
    AXIS_EVENT_03=3DAXIS_RUDDER_SET
    AXIS_SCALE_03=3D64
    AXIS_NULL_03=3D36
    BUTTON_DOWN_EVENT_04=3DNAV1_RADIO_FRACT_DEC
    BUTTON_DOWN_EVENT_05=3DNAV1_RADIO_FRACT_INC
    BUTTON_DOWN_EVENT_06=3DNAV1_RADIO_WHOLE_DEC
    BUTTON_DOWN_EVENT_07=3DNAV1_RADIO_WHOLE_INC
    BUTTON_DOWN_EVENT_08=3DNAV2_RADIO_FRACT_DEC
    BUTTON_DOWN_EVENT_09=3DNAV2_RADIO_FRACT_INC
    BUTTON_DOWN_EVENT_10=3DNAV2_RADIO_WHOLE_DEC
    BUTTON_DOWN_EVENT_11=3DNAV2_RADIO_WHOLE_INC

    Because the [JOYSTICK_nn] sections do not exist in the fs2002.cfg =
file I am not sure how to do this in FS2K2. Does anyone has experiences =
with that and can help me?

    Thanks in advance,
    Matthias
