Cannot set joystick controls for helicopter
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Joystick installs correctly, and is calibrated correctly in windows. Joining the game shows the joystick at the start screen and once in game it works to control the helicopter. Once you go to try and change the controls, the helicopter controls no longer show and you can't control the helicopter with the joystick any longer.

Why don't you shrink the pictures size?

Also is anyone else experiencing this issue?

Not going to worry about images unless they are requested.

I haven't found anyone to repro... was hoping to find some here.

Same problem here. I'm using a Joystick and TrackIR 5. The Joystick disappears and stops working once I enter the configuration screen in-game.

I found #17062 and #14924 to be about the same issue.

Thank you for the repro steps provided, but even those don't allow me to reliably reproduce the issue (I've experienced it happening randomly)

Closing as dupl. here. Please, if you have any further information about this bugger, let me know in the linked thread.
