--- Comment #14 from Andreas Zitzelsberger winehq@az82.de 2008-11-23 15:57:32 --- It is still an issue with 1.1.9, just tested it with IL2. The Joystick works fine, I'm using joy2key as workaround.
Because this isn't entirely clear from the previous comments: The issue is that Linux uses axes and Windows buttons for the POV hat. In fact, with Wine I can use the POV hat in Windows apps just as any other Joystick axis, but because most Windows apps expect buttons for the POV hat I can't use it for it's intended function.
Wine doesn't have any facilities I know of that would allow to map an axis to a button.
