| Can't bind "Roll" to the joystick |

I can't bind the left/right roll (for planes/choppers) to my Logitech Wingman Extreme joystick. Is there a way to do this manually in the control file? :-(

Yeah, you just have to play with the Controls.con file. It is located in your My Documents/Battlefield 2/Profiles/xxxx folder. The xxxx is the number of the profile on your computer, generally it is 0001 if it is your first profile. But open the controls.con file and you will see a lot of mumbo jumbo.
A little down the page, you should see a new section that starts with ControlMap.create AirPlayerInputControlMap. This is the section for Air Settings.
Then add(or modify existing) line ControlMap.addAxisToAxisMapping c_PIRoll IDFGameController_0 IDAxis_2 0 1.
Start with ControlMap.add then you can do Keys for keyboard keys, Button for mouse mouse or joystick buttons, or Axis for mouse or joystick axis. Finish with ToAxisMapping.
Then do a " c_PIRoll IDF". Use GameController_x or Mouse. x being which game controller it is. If it is your only controller, you should probably use 0. Then put a IDAxis_x where x is the axis you want to bind roll to. For me it is the twist so it is the third axis, labeled axis 2.
Then there are 2 binary digits afterwards. I dont' know what the second one does but the first can invert the axis.
But my final line of code for roll is ControlMap.addAxisToAxisMapping c_PIRoll IDFGameController_0 IDAxis_2 0 1
You just have to play with it until it all works. You seem to have to with a joystick to get the controls to do what you want. I have a Logitech Wingman Strike Force 3D, so I don't know how similar it is to your joystick. You may be able use the same line or you may just have to play with it. To test your controls, I would recommend making a local server with spawn time of 0. Joining a game on internet takes a while and I haven't found a mission in singleplayer that has planes.
Oh well good luck.

i know what ya mean i would rather bind alot of the common keys to the number pad however it says all those keys are already found in common control which is crap cause they aint it would be more useful if you can config the game usin the controls you really want without havin to tear apart ini files due to poor coding of the game
