Ok, here is the sad tale, not unique, but driving me crazy. I had a
friend who mostly plays GPL and Fighters Anthology, and he has a MS
Presision non-FF wheel (usb) and a Wingman Attack joystick (onboard
gameport). He had DX 6.0 and had both devices in the Win98 game
controller set up. Both games and controllers worked fine, but GPL
looked bad in software mode on his ATI Rage VR, so I installed Dx7.0a
so he could use the D3d mode that Papy released. NOW< I can't get GPL
to recognize the proper axis when setting up his wheel, (having the
direct input box checked on the setup page as usual), At this point,
he has to remove the joystick from Game Device Controller window to
get GPL to set up the axis correctly. (It thinks the brake and
steering axis are the same when joystick is in GDC). Then he has to
install the joystick in #1 slot in GDC to use it with FA. I have tried
both controllers in turn in the #1 slot, and different descriptions
for the joystick, and have not been able to get the two to exist
together like before 7.0a. How do I get back to the simple life with
7.0a?
