I'm afraid, the engine can't do that, so you have to use the Winapi. This link might help:

I think I've found the solution! I can get input from any button with joy_buttons and joy2_buttons, here's the page from GS manual wich explains how to use it: http://www.conitec.net/beta/joy_buttons.htm

Does this mean that GS7/Lite C only supports 2 joysticks natively without resorting to outside apps?

I would really like to have a steering wheel/accelerator/brake and two joysticks for a current simulator training project I am working on without the extra work needed for other apps.

Thanks - works perfectly!

Code:

if(joy_hat == -1)
{	cam_glance_set_pan = 0;
	cam_glance_set_tilt = 0;
}
else if(joy_hat == 0) cam_glance_set_tilt = -30;
else if(joy_hat == 180) cam_glance_set_tilt = 40;
else if(joy_hat == 270)	cam_glance_set_pan = -90;
else cam_glance_set_pan = joy_hat;
