Sorry for hijacking your thread.
I am just starting with LV myself, but I'll see if I can help.

I don't think that anyone used LV with joysticks last year. It was mainly used for Dashboard type functions.

In 2009, we will have the new operator interface that will include the Joystick input. As of now, we don't know exactly how that is going to work.

I searched on ni.com for usb & joystick and found the following examples:
How Can I Monitor a Joystick, Keyboard, or Mouse in LabVIEW?

Motion Control with USB Joystick
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/4726

I hope that it helps. You also might try searching in LV help for joystick and see if you can find anything.

Good luck,
Randy Wood
P.S.
These examples may or may not be correct for the version of LV that we are going to have in 2009.
