Throttle Axis on Logitech Extreme 3D Pro

myJoystick = new Joystick(1, 4, 12);

Or, does the POV hat show up as a 5th axis?

Next, once I've got the Joystick instantiated, I should be able to read the axis as:

myJoystick->GetAxis(kThrottleAxis);

And it should return a value between 0 and 1 or -1 and 1?

If any of you have any sample code you'd care to part with, I'd sure appreciate it. Our main software developer is in a canoe up near Canada. So, I'm trying to figure out this stuff as quickly as I can.

Thanks,

Mike

Do anyone know how to program the hat switch? is it a axis or is it a button?
im using java.
