How do you use a joystick with KSP?

[ChronicSilence]

I have a Saitek X52 stick, drivers installed and it\'s calibrated. I go to KSP\'s settings menu and try to set it as the secondary control for pitch, but it doesn\'t recognize when I move the stick in the axis I want to assign to that control (in this case, pushing it forward). It assigns buttons properly though.

Do I have to assign the axis to a key outside of the game, and then assign the key to the control in KSP? If so, this would seem to remove the point of having the joystick, where you can apply partial response (instead of all-or-nothing).

Thanks!

There\'s a joystick section down below. Be sure to set your roll sensitivity to very low.

Do you have a profile loaded in the Saitek software? Even a completely blank profile?

Hey guys I have a similar issue with a Saitek Cyborg f.l.y. 5. It detects the buttons alright but x y and throttles don\'t seem to be detected. They test out ok on my desktop so I know they work.

my only gripe is getting roll for spaceplanes and yaw for spaceships to be on my x axis.
