@Distiler: I do not use an external joystick profiler, I simply configured the controls in Lock On. Also, the problem seems to affect alt+space as well, so I suspect this may be more insidious than a joystick problem. @3Sqn_Sven: I am aware there are two issues; I, and I believe a few other posters, would like a solution to the control issue. Would you suggest another thread? Thank you both for the quick replies

Windows 7 x64 I am also running the stock game, in windows 7 64bit. I can confirm that the arm switch has nothing to do with this likely separate issue, as the cannon works fine, the hud arm switch displays in the correct position and the missiles will occasionally fire (on the order of 50% of the time if the button is held.) I have the game running full screen in my monitors native resolution (1600x1200.)
