Sidewinder & Nascar2\IndyII

2 posts by 2 people · 21 Jun 1998 - 22 Jun 1998

Well I went thru an upgrade and could not get the Microsoft Sidewinder pro 3D to work under windows 95 so I just used it for Nascar2 and ICR2 in DOS, worked fine. I then downloaded the 2.0 software upgrade for the Sidewinder and now it works under windows 95, but no longer works in dos for the sims. Jesus, does it ever end. Anyone get the Sidewinder to work in DOS and Win95? I have tried MSD under dos and it says the device is disabled. Tried removing the device in device manager, created a second joystick and mead it look like a 2x, 4button standard joystick and thought I had it, but still does not work. Please do not tell me to fo out and buy a $6000.00 racing sim simulated car. My friend think I am a big enough Geek as it is. Seroiusly, anyone have any luck with this. Maybe I need an analog stick. I have a game card that I no longer use, maybe thats the ticket. Any suggestions would be welcome Thanks

This is a slight pain but it works perfectly for me. Before I run NASCAR 2, I go into Control Panel, click on Game Controllers, then click on Advanced, then Change. Select CH Flightstick Pro and your stick will work fine. Jim
