What is the Effin secret about programming a new Axis on a new joystick?!

[BigVette]

Picked up a Saitek AV8R tonight on sale from Best Buy and I want to program my rudder (joystick twist) and throttles (collective) - why can't I select something other than a "button" to assign new (and in this case never used before) axis for these assignments?

 

I'm on page 25 where it talks about "Tune Input Axis" but cannot get the "Axis Tune" button to highlight so that I can go and assign this action to an axis - wtf, over? Am I missing something here? :joystick:

 

Help much appreciated - thanks in advance!

To assign an axis, select "Axis commands" from the drop down menu.

To assign an axis, select "Axis commands" from the drop down menu.

Which drop down menu are you referring to? I'm seeing any such "axis commands" when I'm in the screen as shown on page 25 of the GUI english manual?

 

Thanks for your help!

in options menu under controls theres a pull down menu look for axis command. To start of the pull down says all.

Look at page 19 at the top of the Category drop down list.

There we go, right under my big nose - thanks for your help. :doh:

Can I invert the throttle control, I didn't see that as being an option?

[Chillspider]

just click on the joystick box next to the function then click add and move the axis you want to set it to

Yes select the item in the axis list and then select axis Tune at the bottom and there is a place to put a check mark to reverse the axis.
