Hi

I bought the game today, so i installed it.
I started the game, and made my options.
BUT my Joystick ( Microsoft Force Feedback Pro)
doesn't run in the game.
Has anyone a idea to play with joysticks?
Or will Ubisoft update the game?

Hi

Numerous people have reported Joystick issues and have posted their concerns here

You can do two things

1. Read up on what has been posted there

2. Get in touch with the Ubisoft Technical Support Team.

Details are as follows:-

United Kingdom

United States

Click on Ask A Question (may need to log in first) then just explain to them what probs your having - Don't forget to include your DXDiag.txt - Screen captures/Save files are a bonus and would be a great asset to them

------------------------

France

Le clic posent dessus une question (peut devoir ouvrir une session d'abord) expliquent alors juste à eux quels probs votre avoir - n'oubliez pas d'inclure votre DXDiag.txt - des dossiers de l'écran captures/Save sont une bonification et seraient de grands capitaux à eux

------------------------

Germany

Klicken Sie stellen an eine Frage (kann innen zuerst loggen müssen), dann erklären gerade ihnen, welche probs Ihr Haben - vergessen Sie nicht, Ihr DXDiag.txt mit einzuschließen - der Akten des Schirmes captures/Save eine Prämie sind und ein großer Wert zu ihnen sein würden

------------------------

Italy

Scattisi sopra fanno una domanda (può avere bisogno di di entrare in primo luogo) allora appena spiegano a loro che probs vostro avere - non si dimentichi di includere il vostro DXDiag.txt - lime dello schermo captures/Save è un'indennità e sarebbe un bene grande a loro

------------------------

Spain

Chasque encendido hacen una pregunta (puede necesitar abrirse una sesión primero) entonces apenas explican a ellos cuál probs su es una prima y sería un gran activo tener - no se olvide de incluir su DXDiag.txt - archivos de la pantalla captures/Save a ellos

My apologies if the translations aren't accurate.

Hope this helps.

My MS FF Pro doesnt work either.

It works with all other games, IL2, HOTP, Attack on Pearl harbour.


DAmn shame, I am all fingers and thumbs on the keys, very hard to fly direction with one hand and use the rudder AND speed AND fire buttons with the other hand.

For everyone with joystick/gamepad detection problems:

Some types of gamepads or joysticks are not detected properly when combined with some types of USB keyboards (especially Saitek gamepads with Logitech USB keyboards).

Right now, if you want to check if this is the problem that affects your game, you can try to switch to a PS2 keyboard or another type of USB keyboard.

There is a patch coming that will fix this and many other problems. The patch will be released in a few days.

Well today I bought BA 2 and I'm not so sure that that was a good idea...
Firstly the game does not detect a Logitech Force 3D Pro... secondly, the work around using a third party control emulator, ControlMK, doesn't work either...and that worked for me in BA1.
I could not save the changes I made in the control configuration...in order to use ControlMK.
No sensitivity settings that work!!!!
The mouse sensitivity slider, governed on the mouse wheel, changes back to high sensitivity on its own accord....despite setting that down 20 times!!!!!!!!....the result...just touch the y axis and your plane goes into a full dive or a steep climb...speak about having control of your plane...and u gotta hone onto a target with this kinda control....
I'm speechless!!!!! I spent nearly 2 hours to set up any kind of control and still could not fly...I've spent only about 20 minutes in the air with way too much frustration....diving & climbing, diving & climbing....Bah!!!!
When do I start having fun?
I own every other flight sim on the market so don't think its my system or my stick or my ability
Ubi....what's going on? Oh yeah I have PS 2 mouse & keyboard and all that stuff...I've never had 2 minutes of trouble of this kind in any other game on earth....oh yes actually I have......BA1!!!!
Unbelievable!!!! But then again I should have known better from past experience!!!

To: Gravitasfailure
Any news on the upcoming patch that may solve my/our joystick problems ?
Best regards

Saitek evo/logitech wingman rumble pad still gets the "error reading key" message.If they gonna rush a game out why not make key configs easier like Battle Stations Midway (BF2 configs are better) till the patch comes out?
I also tried CONTROLMK it dont work either.Saitek has a profiler similar to controlmk but same results for this game.


How big of a patch are they making for just the key configs? aka bf2 700mb patch .

p.s when u load the game the autopatch starts, so if u have dial up make sure ur not connected to the net when u start game lol.


foot-note: Graphics

And i cant set my games res to 1680x1050 and cant enable shadows either but i can play with the other settings on max with my Sapphire x800GTOagp. 22in monitor.I can run more graphical games than this on high aka stalker,enemy territory quake wars,world conflict,company of heroes2, medival2 kingdoms just to name a few. I just have to upgrade (medal of honor airbonre has 3.0 shading so i have a 40 dollar coaster lmao.) to a HD2600XT agp 512mb 2port dvi-i tv/hdtv out. pci-e has to wait for xmas bonus


!ITS A PRETTY SCREEN SAVER TILL THE PATCH!

Another 4 hours spent (wasted) trying to get this game to work with any of my 4 controllers...3 joysticks and 1 gamepad...
I am so not enjoying this job as beta tester...coz this game does not recognise any PC controlers or sticks...maybe because this game wants your PC to be a console....duh which its not!!!
I got really close with my Logitech Force 3D Pro by using Logitech's key to stick assignments but then the y axis and the throttle would not work...and then I had ControlMK running to sort those 2 functions out....but then alas all sensitivity went straight out the window...and now I stop before I wanna jump out the window...
Please guys...are u gonna fix this or will u leave it all just as u did with BA 1. Someone needs to sue the **** outta u guys.
Words cannot describe my frustration because I can see that 18 months down the line there are still gonna be threads like this with no solution just like with BA1...and just look at how dead that game is...

you aint lyin we are pissed, I am too...seems I threw my money out the window with this game. Doesnt seem to complicated to get a widely used stick such as the sidewinder or logitech, hell everybody has these.....
UBI NEEDS TO PATCH BA1 and BA2 to work correctly with joysticks!
So UBI, whats it gonna be? Fix it, give our money back or force us into a lawsuit? This is total BULLS**T!
ps the easy thing would be fix it correctly!

Greetings Fellow Happy PC Gamers:

You know, I LOVE been treated like a second-class gamer in the eyes of UBISOFT just because I choose to use a PC rather than the darling (Red-Ring-Of-Death prone) XBOX 360 console. Especially after I plunk down $40 of my hard-earned money for a DEFECTIVE GAME like BA2 for PC. The PC platform was; and still is, the home of the Flight Sim genre. That's because there isn't a universally-adopted flight control system available for any console to date. God forbid I try to use my rather expensive and quite capable Saitek X52 FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM with a FLIGHT SIMULATION GAME! What must I have been thinking? I knew I should have stayed with the professional-quality games like IL-2 and FSX. How can UBISOFT make such a work of art like IL-2, and then turn around and take a giant steaming dump on the flight sim community with Blazing Angels 1 & 2? I have been on the phone with UBISOFT Tech Support (another few hours of my life I will never get back). A patch is coming...a patch is coming! Folks, don't hold your breath for a functional patch anytime this century. We're still wating for a functional BA1 patch since March 23, 2006! I know that next-gen consoles are where the money is at today, but does UBISOFT have to make their distain for PC gamers so blatantly obvious? But they're sure willing and able to take our $40, aren't they?

Written by just another satisfied UBISOFT customer. Happy keyboard-mashing to all of you wanna-be fighter pilots out there in PC-land!

Greetings PC Gamers:

Very rarely in my life have I been made to eat crow so quickly - and it is not because of a bird-strike to the canopy glass. I AM TRULY SORRY ABOUT MY PRIOR POSTING!!! After having blasted UBISOFT so harshly earlier today, I decided to (for the very last time) try to get my X52 stick to work in Blazing Angels 2. Upon clicking play, low and behold, an AUTOPATCH 1.01 window pops up. I installed the patch, and after maping the buttons and stick axis (you guessed it, folks) MY X52 STICK WORKS PERFECTLY NOW!!! I sincerely want to say that I AM SORRY and THANK YOU to the developers. After playing the game for a little while properly, I was able to fully enjoy the drop dead GORGEOUS GRAPHICS minus the verbal swearing and stick beating. To all of those who were on the fence about buying BA2 because of control issues, the green light has been lit. ALL HAIL AUTOPATCH 1.01!!!! I hope to see all of you daring aviators online in the multiplayer arena! I wish to also formally apologize to the Tech Support representative who had to listen to my rant via the telephone. Now about Blazing Angels 1...

Writen by a truely happy UBISOFT customer (no sarcasm this time). Please forgive my impatient nature. Great job you guys! I will be the FIRST in line to purchase BLAZING ANGELS 3 for PC!!!!
