I'm trying to figure out how to program for Cyber Commando (reminds me a bit of Virtual On, which I LOVED back in the day...). I have a custom control panel with three sticks (one a two-button flight stick) and I also have a ball & spinner.
The original used two analog trigger sticks. with two buttons (gun and missle) and a button on the panel. (change view)

The term "flight stick" can refer to either an analog (potentiometer) joystick
or an 8-way (microswitch) joystick.
- To use two analog sticks, set the X- and Y-axis inputs to the corresponding joystick axis. Set the eight INC and DEC values to "none".
- To use two microswitch sticks, they
must not be wired in parallel ("up" on the left stick has to go to a different input and send a different output than "up" on the right stick) or you'll go in circles.
So far, when I try to program the INC / DEC controls, I basically go side-to side, but the up & down are making me go in forward or backward circles.
Sounds like you're only using a single stick
or both sticks are wired in parallel.
- Pushing forward on just the left stick makes you go forward/right.
- Pushing forward on both sticks makes you go straight forward.
If this info doesn't help you configure the game properly, please post more details about your setup and maybe some pics.
- It's hard to give good advice when we aren't quite sure what you're working with.
