rec.autos.simulators

I just got this game and when I fired her up the game would not recognize
my Sidewinder Pro joystick.  I reinstalled the game, recalibrated in win95,
but still nothing.

Then someone suggested that I try deleting my Sidwinder Pro profile in
win95 and load another.  I did that, loading a 3-axis, 4-button joystick
profile.

When I went back to F1RS the game now saw my joystick.  I thought I'd try
to trick this little gem of a racing simulator by reloaded my sidewider
profile in win95.  But the game is smarter than I had thought: it reverted
back to stubborness.

At the F1RS site for controller compatibility it does mention that the game
works with MS' Sidewinder Pro.  If this be the case, then why doesn't mine
work?

Any help is profoundly appreciated.  :)

Thanks,

Alanb

It was said by Alan Bernardo that...

Who knows? Mine works fine. Although I prefer the GP1 :-)

Alan,

Difficult to help when not sat in front of your machine but F1RS had no
problem finding & working with my Sidewinder Pro first time. Have you tried
downloading the latest Sidewinder drivers from the MS site? The one I'm
running is the MS Game Device Profiler 1.5

Regards

DM
