Configure the Virtual Pilot Pro as a "simple" Virtual Pilot under Windows98
(or '95). This is the only work around I know, but it sure helps.

I have the same problem except that I have Win95 and DirectX 5.  Do
you have any other games and is VPP working OK there?

In the ftp/www site of CH I found several files:

CHJoyDrv.exe   Windows 95 drivers for most all CH Products Joysticks
               including ... Virtual Pilot Pro
CHVPP95.zip    CH Win95 Driver for Virtual Pilot Pro
CHW95DRV.exe   Windows 95 Drivers for CombatStick, Virtual Pilot Pro &
               GameStick14.
VPP95-14.exe   no explanation ???
VPPro.exe      Virtual Pilot Pro Installation disk 1.05 w/FS5.1 patch

Anyone knows which is the newest/best working driver?  Last time I
couldn't download because the site or the connection was jammed.

If you find a solution please post it to this ng or email me, I'll do
the same.
