Hey guys,
Bought a Virpil VPC Constellation Alpha joystick and am now wrangling it to heel across the board. I can't get the roll to stop and it's not USB priority. Saw that you put out a new joystick configurator. Have not found it. Can someone point me in a direction? Thanks.

It's on the launcher menu.
You may also need to turn off Rudder Enabled in the in game options

Apologies, I thought I had read of a config 2.0. The stick is now sussed. The throttle, however...
0(zero) is my set for my stick and 1 for the throttle. I have tried 1, 2 & 3 for the throttle axis and both auto and manual bindings but no go. Ideas?

The reason it spins is because by default it assigns Axis index 3 to Roll, which is your brake lever. If you change it to Axis index 2 in the Joystick Config before entering the game then it'll be mapped to the twist on your stick instead.

You've not said what throttle you've got, but assuming you have a separate device then you probably need to change the Controller index. Look at the System Controllers tab in the Joystick Config to work out which one is which, although when you type in the Controller index it will put the name of the device next to it in the Settings tab anyway.

Added a screenshot of how mine is configured in case it helps.

The throttle is a Virpil VPC MongoosT50CM2. O.k.- progress, I think. I manually changed the id and index to 3. No joy. However. I then cleared them and used both index and axis id buttons separately. No joy. The system controllers page sees it but the settings page doesn't. So close it hurts...

Can you post a screenshot of the System Controllers tab in the Joystick Config tool?

Try this:
Yaw axis:
Controller axis or id: 860111152
Axis index: 0

Pitch axis:
Controller axis or id: 860111152
Axis index: 1

Throttle axis:
Controller axis or id: 860127635
Axis index: 3

Roll axis:
Controller axis or id: 860111152
Axis index: 2

No joy. Is there any way to affect the systems controller page?

Not quite. That page is for information only, not for setting anything. Have you tried changing the axis index for the roll axis to see if anything changes?
