You will have to install the joystick manually.  To do so you will need to plug the joystick to the game port.

Follow this procedure…

1.            Make sure you are on Analog and CH mode before you install the joystick.  Look in the manual to see where the switch is located.

2.            Click on Start button.

3.            Go to Settings.

4.            Click on Control Panel and a window should open up.

5.            Double click on the Game Controllers icon.

6.            Click on the ADD… button.

7.            Scroll down in Game controllers and search for 4-button joystick w/POV and throttle, high light that list and click on the box that say Enable rudders and pedals.

8.            Click ok.  By than in the bottom on your right hand screen will search for new hardware.

9.            Now you can go and click on Properties button and Settings tab to set your Calibration.
