I have to map the first aircraft column. The second will not save for some reason and it is also that way in 2142. Even with saitek software I cannot map boost to a key but with xpadder I can map boost, x and even a mouse button if I wanted. xpadder.com

I can map Shift on my cyborg evo with no problems, and I use the second column for mapping the axises.
Maybe you need to download the newest driver and profiler?

I've calibrated my joystick, but I consider just plugging it back out. For some reason, even though it works fine for Falcon 4.0: Allied Force, but both when I play Project Reality and when I play First Strike, my craft veers to the left as if the rudder was not centered. This after repeated attempts to calibrate the thing. Very annoying.

Take a look at this link http://www.saitek.com/uk/supp/evo_support.htm
The regedit fix solved problems with both my Logitech and Saitek joysticks.

Mine did that but only very slightly and rolled left slightly. I was used to it and I really just figured it was the joystick. I could see the numbers changing in the xp calibration screen. After I launched the calibration mode from xpadder which brings up the same xp box it stopped. So it may work but being it works in another game ok it may not.

exactly , the mapping !
there could be an issue :by using joytokey or glove pie you could, in that way, use the joystick as a keyboard or a mouse . the only one way to have it analogique is to convert it as a mouse it would be close to a joystick feeling but how to use mouse view in that case?

I am still not certain that I understand you, but to configure my joystick I just click on the appropriate control in aircraft settings and move the joystick in the desired direction.
The control will then become something like "-JoyAxis3" (and the control for the opposite direction will automatically be mapped at the same time).

hi,
very great work ,thank the dev....
i actually have 2 problems:
1) in the commad list there's only the keyboard and mouse that are recognized not the joystick (it's working perfectly in bf2) > any suggestion?
.

I don't quite understand the "command list" part, are you having problems mapping the joystick to the controls?
Because I and several others use the joystick for flying with no issues (except the boost)
