having a similar issue with my MS Sidewinder gamepad, worked fine prior to patch, but now pushing UP on the controller makes my character walk backwards, pushing DOWN on the controller makes my character walk forwards, its completely backwards.. I use Joy2key to bind UP to W-key and DOWN binded to S-key.. in flight mode in the game, pushing up results in ACCELERATE(W-key) as it should be, and pushing DOWN(S-key) results in slowing down ship, as it should be according to the binds, but its backwards when controlling a character
So.... So long time ago, and nothing...
I play BF2 mainly on the Xbox usually, but I have it on the PC too, and I just tried again a Starfighter Assault on the PC, with the good old Sidewinder Precision 2.
It is still not working, while I am sure, that before when I first tried Starfighter Assault on the PC, it was working perfectly well (to be honest, I am not a fan of that mode, finding it too arcade, though I understand many are interested, and I am waiting for Squadrons).
Still back to the problem: this feature was working well before the aforementioned update. Even if EA is not giving updates, it is a matter of maintenance, not updates.
The Joystick, despite its age, works perfectly well in IL2, A10, etc. And of course it works very well with LucasArts's X-Wing Alliance, I don't see any reason on BF2, it couldn't.
Thank you.
