IRC2/Mac - problem with Gravis Mousestick II

I've just purchased IRC2 for the Mac PowerPC. I'm unable to get it to recognize my Gravis Mousestick II joystick - and controlling the car without a joystick seems nearly impossible! Sierra told me via email that there is a patch to fix this on their web site - but I sure don't find it. Does anyone know where to find the patch, or have any other way around this problem? Thanks, Tim Axelrod

I too have looked for "the patch" but to no avail. I am not doubting you, but are you certain that the Sierra person understood that you were talking about the Mac version? I ask this because I see there are patches available for the DOS and Win95 versions. Jim Getzen

Yup - Bob at Sierra Tech told me the name of the patch is MACICR11, and his email included all the information I had submitted about my Mac's configuration. Unfortunately, he hasn't replied to my followup email about the precise location of the patch :-) Tim.

I couldn't get my Gravis Mousestick to work until I removed my Kensington TurboMouse and it's software. Check for control panel and extension conflicts. Jeff
