I tried to edit the above post but the forums didn't like it for some reason :)..... anyway, EDIT to the above post as follows
 
	The rudder axis is on BU0836A card and is hardwired to the Z axis { no software to allow changes } also the config software cant tell the difference between the two BU0836X cards I have and therefor continues to overwrite any settings I try to input, the Ardunio card has 32 buttons, but the game fails to recognise anything above the 8 in the config window....add to that, the frustrastions of the config software taking a long time to actually work, hanging up numerous times and taking 30% of the processor to try and do what its doing and still failing miserably, just adds to the overall frustrations.
 
	I apologise if my posts are sounding like a moaner, but I just want to be able to assign controls and fly the sim...because it looks amazing!!
