Does version 3.02 of the MS Sidewinder's software
automatically choose the proper profile/scheme for your game without
having to choose it manually in the Game Controller control panel?
With 4.0, it's manual. And will 3.02 work with my USB wheel?

You mean you load up game Z and the stick/wheel knows it's game Z and
unloads profile Y and loads profile Z?
No, nothing like that. It's all manual.
But it does remember which profile was loaded last. And if you have more
than one stick/wheel (like I do) it switches itself in control panel and
self-calibrates when you swap one for the other. At least, this is with the
gameport versions of the FF Wheel and FF stick /w 3.02 software.

I think you need 4.0 for USB. Not sure why MS calls it 4.0 since those of us
using the gameport can't upgrade.

That's what I wanted. I guess I have to live with manual switching...
