Joystick controller not working - Codemasters Heroes of the Pacific

What game are you trying to play? Most newer games don't know about the old game ports anymore. That could be the cause.

Go into the settings for the game and check and make sure that the game is detecting the X and Y-axis. You might need to check enable joystick or some similar option.

ya the joystick will work you can use it because am also having the same am using it , its perfect but you have change control options in the game to joystick control and also if you want you can the options as you like, but this kind of joy is mainly used for flight running games but it also works for all joypad control games too.

The drivers from Logitech help and can be downloaded from thier support site. The software they have lets you use profiles for all the games you play with the joystick, that way you don't have to constantly calibrate it for each game. The windows drivers will work the joystick....just have to go to control panel, game controllers and enable and calibrate the joystick.

If it doesnt work, then try the controller. If the controller works, then just use that. Sometimes the system does not recognize the joystick.

Some joysticks are not compatible with certan games for expmple when i am using flight simulator and change to my combat flight simulator i have to change joysticks
the only other thing i would think is try deleting the currently installed driver for the joystick and then download a driver for a joystick that is surported, it wont work as well but at least it might accully work

all games Works in in any joystick Especially The Car Games In This Joystick and you need to set the controller joystick

Have you tried going into the options menu in the game and go to the controls section at the top? You have to set all of the settings to the various joystick axis in order to make the joystick work.

I had this same problem with my 360 controller (after modding it, but the solution should be the same..) If you pull up on any 360 joystick it will stick the same way.

The quickest fix would be to take some sandpaper on the inside of where the joystick touches the controller shell, sand it down just enough so the joystick is moving smoothly.

More professional ways would be to cut the little piece of metal that sticks out and goes into the joystick. Just a very small amount, too much will make it hard to press the right thumbstick button.
You could also try some old fashioned grease, just a little bit on the inside, nothing noticeable from the outside.

Also make sure the controller is put back together right, I've taken apart many 360 controllers and sometimes joysticks stick when there's a wire in the wrong place and the shell won't close all the way. (The rumble motors particularly).
Hope this helped!
