Analog joystick for rudder in FS98

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.microsoft.flight-sim (More info?)

I want to use an analog joystick/game port as input for rudder control
with FS98. My main controller is a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro. I tried
adding a plain 2-axis 2-button joystick in addition to the Logitech,
but I can't figure out how to tell FS98 to use it as a rudder control.
Both joysticks control the aileron and elevator axes, which is a bit
confusing. Any suggestions?

If I can make the analog joystick control the rudder, I'll build a pair
of rudder pedals -- that's the point of this exercise.

Thanks, those were all helpful. One more page that's needed, to
explain how to tell FS98 to use two different joysticks:
<http://www.schiratti.com/dowson.html>, the file FS98ctls.zip.
