Hi all,
Just purchased CFS today and have installed it and it looks great. My
problem is that it says in the setting menu that my Sidewinder pro is not
connected. I go back to the desktop and the joystick is fine. I have gotten
it off the ground with keyboard and it was a blast.

Thanks much in advance

Fixed my own problem. It was aproblem with the sound card.

What kind of problem was it---my Sidewinder sometimes has the same problem...?

I had to change this line to the CombatFS.cfg file [Sound]
Channels=1
SamplesPerSec=11025
This is also listed in the trouble shooting guide for Combat FS under the
joystick section. I have a Packard Bell and MS Techies told me it is a
with the sound card modem joystick port all in one can of worms from Packard
Bell. Hope this helps

Uh-oh, I don't have CFS yet (was sold out when I went to buy it today :( ),
but I *do* have the Sidewinder FF Pro. What's the problem? Hope it isn't a
big one!

Its a problem with my 8 bit sound card modem joyport all in one that
I got with this Packard bell. In the CombatFs.cfg file you have to add
these lines. [SOUND]
CHANNELS=1
SamplesPerSec=11025
I have had to add these to all the FS cfg because of my situation with
Sound card

Same problem... and now Joystick doesnt work for Flightsim 98 either. Must be
a DirectX 6 problem. You can custom config a 4 button, 4 axis joystick that
will at least get you the throttle, joystick and hat buttons working.

If you find a solution, please email me also
