joystick hat button and SF2 question

[jet_spud 0]

hi, i'm used to playing a modded il-2 using my logitech X3D joystick, utilising the hat button on top to look around the cockpit, check my 6 that sort of thing. trouble with il-2 is the MB - i find i spend too much time building missions and not enough flying them!

 

i've got the complete set of thirdwire sims; FE, WOV, WOE and WOI (cos i like them so much - haven't had so much fun in a long while, love the random mission generator too), but i can't get the hat switch to work on any of them? i've customised the controls to match il-2 as much as poss, but the only way i can look around in the cab (aside from keys) is via the mouse, am i missing something?

You program the stick through the sims controller interface in the options area. There are sections you can map snap views to your hat switch.
