> I don't think that a digital controller will work on > the PDPI. My Gravis pad wouldn't. Ahhhh..... I hadn't thought that the PDPI was designed to read analog exclusively. It would make sense that my joystick wouldn't work, wouldn't it?

Hi, I have a PDPI L4 card and have just gotten a Wingman Extreme Digital 3D joystick. It's a USB thing and works just fine, but I have to switch back and forth between the PDPI driver and the Standard Gampeort driver in the control panel game controllers icon. Because of this, I removed the USB adaptor and plugged the joystick into the L4 card and installed the Wingman joystick files, but only those controllers labeled as [L4] work. There is not any corresponding [L4] entry available for the Wingman Extreme Digital 3D joystick. Where can I go or what can I do to update this [L4] list? -Chris- **Jesus saves sinners and redeems them for valuable cash prizes** Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

I don't think that a digital controller will work on the PDPI. My Gravis pad wouldn't. "Chris Cavin" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8sk41e$kcf$[email hidden]...

exactly, remember this: digital = NOT working with PDPI. Only old fashioned things with 4 buttons and 4 axis max work. Great for TSW / Hyper or TM like wheels! no more jitters! whohoo! Niels
