What we do is instead of creating a custom joystick object is to instead use the default joystick object. Using that, and the getRawAxis() function, with printf or cout, you can see which axis is being manipulated when you change the throttle.

Basically:

joystick *MyJoystick;

MyJoystick = new joystick();

printf("Axis 1: %f Axis 2: %f ....", MyJoystick->getRawAxis(1), MyJoystick->getRawAxis(2));
