Hey guys, i bough a HOTAS Warthog recently, and i cant get my joystick to work properly in game, maybe im setting the TARGET profile wrong or something, any help would be appreciated... thx.

You have to set your T.A.R.G.E.T. profile so that you have no more than 4 axis (x,y for the stick, r for rudder and z for the throttle) and disable all the others.
Also the game has a button limit so it's better to bind everything but button 1 and 2 with T.A.R.G.E.T. and most of all make sure there is only one virtual peripheral, it's easy to forget a button or axis that will count as peripheral number two, it happened to me at least a couple of times while setting profiles for my CH Products hotas.
Also keep in mind that there is a small deadzone hardcoded in the game engine so avoid setting deadzones in the profile as most likely you won't need them for this game.
