I have a Logitech Attack 3 Joystick and it works perfectly on FSX steam edition.
However it doesn’t work on FS2020.
I can see axis movement on sensitivity tab, but no key mapping is shown on control setting screen.

Hi, Having the same problem

Same problem saitek av8r-01

I also have a Logitech Attack 3 and I was able to get mine to work. The issue is that FS2020 does not automatically assign key/axis mappings and the UI is not clear on how to do this manually. I’m sure this will also apply to other “unsupported” joysticks. Here is how I did it:

Click Options >> Controls >> Select the Logitech Attack 3.

On the left, under FILTER, click the arrow until it says “ALL”. Scroll to FLIGHT CONTROL SURFACES >> PRIMARY CONTROL SURFACES. For the AILERONS AXIS, select Joystick L-Axis X. For the ELEVATOR AXIS, select Joystick L-Axis Y.

For throttle control, scroll down to POWER MANAGEMENT >> THROTTLE. For THROTTLE AXIS, just Joystick L-Axis Z.

This should be enough to get you going. You can manually map other controls to the joystick similar to how the axes were assigned.

I have the same problem, using Microsoft Sidewinder Precision Pro. Cannot get it to show anything using the filters on the left of the screen.

Thanks for this. I haven’t been able to fly yet due to my joystick not working.

This was incredibly helpful, using the xbox controller just didn’t feel right.

Thank you, excellent instructions was able to setup my Joystick and do my 1st flying.

Thanks, great help. Thought the attack 3 could not work. To get the brake working, just press the brake on the attack3 while assigning a number.

How did you get it flyable? I put the sensitivity way down (-97%) and barely touching the stick sends aircraft straight up for a few hundred feet, stall, and straight back down again.

How did you map your hat control? (I have the same joystick)

Have the same problem, played with the sensitivity bars but the aircraft response even to minor input is extremely “touchy”.

Have you found any solution yet?

One of the other threads said to use the “axis” rather than “axis and direction”.
I had mapped “Aerlion Right” to “Joystick-L Axis-X +” for example.
Once I mapped “Alierons Axis” and “Elevator Axis” rather than the Left, Right, Up, Down variants and set sensitivity back thinmgs were considerably better. I still have issues, partly hardware, partly mapping, and partly (mostly) the fact that I am extraordinarily uncoordinated.

Trim seems to go fully up or fully down, probably a mapping issue again.

Would be nice to see mappings for more joysticks within the game, since the Logitech attack 3 is quite popular and would greatly enhance the experience.

Hi guys has anyone managed to get the joystick to work properly?
