Seems that after configuring & adjusting of axes my joystick (Logitech Wingman Extreme 3D Pro) it won't save what I configure it to for certain aircraft.
Also after clicking 'Ok' at the bottom of the screen rather than going back to start screen the screen goes black entirely. Only way to get out is via 'Ctrl-alt delete' then close the game and restart.
See signature for PC specs.
