I did post something similar (and a bit more in depth) on the old forums but that's gone so I thought I'd do another one. This post just covers the basics for someone who has a stick and wants to bind it directly in SC. I've only given one example of binding one axis. Binding buttons is pretty much the same. The assumption is your stick has already been calibrated in whatever way your stick requires (pro-tip: if you've got Virpil or VKB, don't try to calibrate your stick in Windows). It also assumes you know what the different functions you're binding are. If you're unsure about any particular function(s), get a list together of what you're unsure of and post a query in the Tech Support section of Spectrum. Anyway, here we go: Launch SC and from the starting menu click OPTIONS: Click on the KEYBINDINGS tab: Click on the button in the bottom right hand of the screen until you see Joystick/HOTAS: Click on ADVANCED CONTROLS AND CUSTOMISATION:
