>Is there a patch to let me use all my damn buttons.
The four buttons on the base are only accessible in win95 I believe
(unless someone proves me wrong).
I'm using my Sidewinder 3D Pro as follows :-
Forward half of throttle - accelerator
Backward half of throttle - brake
Fire Button 1 - Change up if accelerating/down if braking
Left/Right - Steering
This gives a very good feel for driving IMHO and you only have to
concentrate on 1 button for changing gear, flicking the throttle as
necessary for up or down changes.
