HI,
I would love to know if anyone is running a MS forcefeedback Pro joystick
(gameport or serial) version on WinXp pro which i use for IL2,my wheel is
MSffb USB which is not a problem.
Any help in this problem would be greatly appreciated,MS have washed there
hands of older joystick models(4yrs old) but this joystick cost a fair bit
and i'm loath to just dump it.
Thanks for reading

Cheers Todd,
Thanks for replying,I wonder if you could explain to me how you set it up,i
can run my MSFFB Wheel usb no problem,but i cannot get the system to
recognise my joystick on gameport,it shows up in the game controller app but
as soon as i try and test it says not connected.
Any help on this subject would really help,i've seached for a week to find a
solution.
Thanks
Den

Den,

I hope I can be of some help but I don't know since I had no problems at
all. The gameport I am using is on my SB Live 5.1 card. Also in the
joystick control panel, I only have one device at any time. In other
words, if the wheel is in there and I am about to switch to the
joystick, I remove the wheel first then add the joystick. I have found
that this is much more reliable than having multiple devices listed
there. Have you tried that? Feel free to email me with any more
questions you have and I will do my best to help you out. My "real"
email address can be found at the webpage in my sig.
