It should work though, I beta test, and they have all the latest joysticks. Steam, never heard of a joystick not working with steam. Especially that 3D stick but hey they are only $19.00 my favorite go to stick, before I started using hall sensors was that Saitek USB Gold. loved that stick.
Thx again, but as posted 4 post up… fixed, was a steam issue fearlessfrog pointed me to the right fix.
umm. what fearless posted was a windows fix, steam had nothing to do with that.
how long we going to drag this out, lol… it was a setting in steam that fixed it, call it what you want… my argument was that it shouldn’t take 4 days and research to get a game working.
Fixed, now to play with my sub-par, non elitists equipment.

‘non elitist’? you guys should take this hoby more seriously 
Yep, a Steam controller bug, not really really related to IL-2 or the cost of the equipment. IL-2 could do something a bit different in enumerating beyond the default controller, but it’s pretty much a Valve whoopsie.

back on topic 
from where are you buying? if you buy from Steam:
Note: On Steam, customers must first purchase Battle of Stalingrad if they wish to purchase Battle of Moscow and/or Battle of Kuban.
If you buy directly from il2 sturmovik page, you can buy first whatever you like:
For SP there are stock campaigns for each game and for Stalingrad and Moscow there are also historical campaigns available as DLCs.

Wait, that fix was for Steam Big Picture gaming aka playing a PC game on a TV set.
You can hardly complain about a PC having difficulty if you’re trying to use it like a console…
As for Il-2, I got it long before it came out on Steam, so I do everything direct. Steam updates faster, but it takes longer for the updates to get there I think. I’m fine with not using Steam for it.
Also, I believe Valve takes a good bite out of the price for themselves, so more of your money goes to the devs direct compared to via Steam.

actually wasn’t using it on a TV, don’t use it in big picture mode… use it like I’ve been using Steam for what 12+ years now… but it still fixed it, then moved it back to regular mode.
I think it’s an old Steam Link bug. Do you have one of those?
About 30% unless you have a legacy deal. Mind you, if you think that sounds bad, a Nintendo or Microsoft Retail deal would be about a 65% cut, so there are worse options to get your stuff sold in a big market. 
Wow, that’s really bizarre if Steam itself was involved in that. I’ve never experienced that with any of my controllers in any games on Steam, but the newest one I have is my Logi G940 HOTAS which IIRC I bought in Dec 2009.
