I'm not, but I am using a USB stick (MSSW). Does it show in usbview? If it doesn't then it is your usb hid module config: Modules required: usbcore usb-uhci input hid joydev If it then works in jstest, then all you need to do is make a config file that maps the axes and buttons to functions. Look in the base backage for other examples (Input/Joysticks/) Caveat: In my case I'm running a plib release (not cvs) and therefore the actual config has to be placed in fgfsbase/joysticks.xml. To use the new setup (the default in base package cvs) you will need a current cvs of plib. If you do an "old style" config (using a plib release like I currently use) in the "joysticks.xml" you need to make sure the settings are wrapped in these tags: <PropertyList> <js> (axis and button configs here) </js> </PropertyList> Look in the Docs/README.Joystick.html file for more info on configuring joystick bindings. The other and perhaps better alternative is to run plib from CVS if you aren't already and just create a Saitek configuration file in the Inputs/Joysticks directory tree. Once you get something that works well you might want to submit the resulting config so that we can add it to the package. From what I understand Saitek makes very good devices for flight simmers.
