That really sucks large eggs, an MS product that wont work 100% correctly in
an MS o/s
Jeepers that really does grip my sh**, specialy as I have yet to find
another FF joystick with the same level of feel and build quality to replace
it, I bought a second hand Logitech FF stick and its completely pants and
rubbish in comparisson with my 5 year old MSFF serial stick.......and you
cant even buy the FF2 in the UK now so im double knackered
I there no way we can plead with MS to make a compatabilty patch ?? is there
not any way at all
Thanks kindly for your advice so far - just a shame I cant find a conclusion
to this, surely there must be some values buried in the registry relating to
the FFB settings ??? im more than capable of some reg editing if required and
could even prolly make a reg template for other people to adjust to new
presets once we nailed the right figures ?
Cheers again.
Mark.

Hi Mark,
That's one of the drawbacks.. those profiles aren't available.
We have to rely on in game settings which are available for
the majority of recent games, but are lacking in older games.

| Kind regards and thanks for helping this far.
