Go back into settings and see if they are where you put them or if they reverted to the default.

i was actually talking about 2 different controllers, the usb adaptor is for a playstation 2 controller but i dont even want to use it for lock on. im using the saitek for lock on and its connected directly to the usb. i just mentioned that because it has both listed in options.

i know the joystick is working because i can fly with the axis's and change the view with one of the buttons and the throttle works too.

im wondering if maybe there is some control to enable the weapons or something like that. the input options is mind boggling for someone who hasnt played flight simulators before, lol.

I don't know which stick you have but check the site for downloads, manuals, maps etc.

You Just have to change to combat mode, Press 1-6 for air to air, and 7 for air to ground

Make sure your landing gear is up. Make sure u are in a combat mode like said before. Make sure you set the deploy weapon if you got the patch. Check your F2 view to make sure you are not dropping bombs. So much to do to fire a gun, took me a while too.

the x52 works great fight sim X .. however, when using it with lock on gold, i cant seem to get the game to adjust to the controler. i have selected the x52 from the drop down box and it will fly the planes. the weapons wont fire nor do i have any other control. has anyone else had the problem or have any tips for something that i may be overlooking ? thanks, p
