Thanks and of course you are right. But I’m stubborn and had to prove it for myself. For the record, I tried a number of approaches. First I confirmed that the keystrokes were in fact being passed by the stick using a profile testing in Notepad. Then I tried mapping the “HOME” key in DosBox, but that didn’t work either. I even tried something silly, using the mouse right-click command from the stick.
Bottom line all the documented in-flight keys listed in the reference card can be used while using the stick by pressing the key on the keyboard or by mapping the key to the joystick. The undocumented roll command keys I found work only if you select keyboard as your controller, but do not work when joystick is selected even from the keyboard.
