It works just like an ordinary joystick axis though,
except it's not sprung to return to centre.

Not quite. The dial controls speed in the case of flight
sim. If you push it forward you go fast, if you push it back you go
slower. Pretty straight forward.

If I remember correctly in your original description you
described this dial
thingy as being capable of modifying the range of the
joystick itself? IE, set
the dial at one end and you get fine
control and at the other end you get
coarse control? If so, the
mechanism is probably built into the joystick
itself and you don't need
to do a thing to have it work in HL...it will show up
in the stick
position values automatically.
