Hi,

I am wondering if it is possible to use this sim with a Logitec rumblepad controller? I can use this controller with no problems in Flight Simulator X and IL2, but in both cases it is necessary to allocate a button to increasing the throttle and another button to decreasing the thottle. Can the same be done in ROF (allocate buttons to throttle), or is it madatory to have the throttle allocated to a slider / axis?

Good luck - I cant even get a simple Sidewinder II throttle lever to be recognized by RoF...

if anyone knows the juju to make that work I would be grateful

Hmm... try this, select the aircraft control you want to change from the main list:



Then select "change"



That will bring up the following window:



... where you wiggle the controller/axis you want assigned to that particular input. Be aware that bumping the mouse (or any other undesired control input) may ... WILL... put that controller's info in the box. You can select the "Cancel" button to return things to original.

I have the same problem. The game recognizes the input in the ROF Settings, but there is no control in game. I can change the inputs to any axis I want, also I have no throttle either. I then saved these new assignments to a profile.

The plane just rolls over and goes into a dive, no matter what you do to the JS.
Is there a entry in the .ini file to edit for the JS?

I am using Leo's BU0836 controller for my JS axis and throttle.

I am puzzles way the setting are recognized but there is no control in game.

Any ideas

When I first started RoF my JS worked fine ( LogiTech Extreme 3D Pro )

Yesterday in play I noticed that the plane will not take off it just rolls along the ground ... the elevators work fine and I noticed that the ailerons work and the rudder works BUT it works along with the ailerons without any input from me ...

I have tried to change it all in the input settings but nothin' seems to help or work ...

I have NO idea what has happened to bring all this on ... but it's really annoyin' not to be abale to take off if the elevators work


Any ideas ?

Are you saving your JS Maping layout or just setting the js layout then going into the game ?

You may have to use a program like Pinnicle Profiler to set some periferals up for ROF.
I know I have used it in a lot of games that didn't have support for my controller and I recommend it 100% http://pinnaclegameprofiler.com/

I tried a couple of different programs like this and I think pinnicle is the best. Plus if you have a question on something, their tech support is on it, they'll fix you up in minutes.
