Cheap USB Controller - AxisPad

[eclipsegsxr]

ok..Me being the low buget minded person that I am, I went to my Local Wal*Mart and picked up the AxisPad FX. it is a USB contoller with vibration it looks alot like the playsation game controllers . i plugged it into my WIN XP PRO and then calibrated it in FMS for stick Use (by the way it has the thumb sticks too) an Low and behold a cheap 4 channel contoller that works great in FMS. it cost just under $20 bucks .. No to try and program helis to work on it..

Just figured I'd let you all know..

What were your settings when you collaborated the controller? I have a similar controller and havn't been able to get it to work? A screenshot would be best if possible, thanks!

I'm using the same controller. The throttle stick has a centering spring, so I disable that. Screw open the case, then partly remove the gimbal box thing on the left side (throttle/rudder). There's a stop on the inside for the spring, I drilled through the gimbal case which destroyed the hard stop and made the throttle non-centering. Been using it for heli practice.

Hope this helps,
Andre
