Just purchased blueteck aerial combat joystick have installed to pc but cannot get it recognized by game. any help out there?

Have a similar issue, I'm using a MS FF2 joystick, and it allows me to navigate through the menu's with it, but it is Keyboard only when it comes to the game.

The game has automatically been patched, so wht else can i do to get it going, coz flying on a k/board sux...

I'm running

Vista Ultimate 64bit
Logitech G15 k/b
Logitech G9 mouse
MS ForceFeedback2 Joystick
XFX 790i Mobo
QX9650 CPU
8gb DD3 1333 ram
2 x XFX9800GX2
Creative XFi soundcard
2 x Velociraptor drives (RAID0)
3 x ASUS Lightscribe DVD burners
External USB H/Drive (MyBook 500gb)
eSATA external drive 250gb

Well it's only been a few days... but seems this forum has nil/zip/zero activity... pity I was hoping to find a solution....

Time to return the game and spend my cash on game that works.

Me too. I have an old Saitek 36 which obviously cannot be programmed in Windows XP, but the game will not recognize it even though I have it installed as one of those generic joysticks w/throttle. It works fine like that in other games, just not Blazing Angels 2. Does anyone have any ideas why some of us are having these problems? Thanks guys.

Guys, I found this further down in the forum:

I'm gonna give it a try.

Guys,
I have seen this problem talked about a ton however I rarely see anyone advising people of the simple fix. Make sure you are making your joystick configurations in the far right column that are all "?" by default. Leave the first two columns alone and only work on the column that says "game controls". This should solve you problems.
