Hey guys, I just bought 2142 but am having a problem getting my joystick and rudder pedals to play nice. The pedals work for me but I can't seem to get the side to side motion on my joystick to work, which should roll me right or left, instead I can't get the axis to bind and it doesn't do anything in-game. Any ideas? System specs follow

MSI K8Nneo2 Platinum
1GB Kingston Value Ram PC3200 (2x512)
1GB Kingston Hyperx PC3200 (2x512)
