Airfix Dogfigher, who's done joystick patch?

[George]

Installed Airfix Dogfighter (great game for kids) on WinXP-pro PC. Works
well, but must use mouse because it apparently needs the "joystick patch"
(AdPatch119.exe) and maybe mouse patch (AdPatch120.exe).

Anyone *actually* installed this on a WinXP PC and know that it works?
Also, it's easy to scan file first for viruses, but if actually install the
..exe file, can we uninstall or reverse it if it breaks something else, or
doesn't work (after all, who knows what could be in the .exe code)?

And, a short poll... if you have Airfix Dogfighter, what are you using to
control it... a) mouse or b) joystick.

Thanks

Hi George,

I don't have that game installed, however, good job scanning
it for any virus infections, and if you set a restore point before
you install the game, you can undo any changes caused by the
installation of the program, should the need arise. Use Win XP
System Restore to return your system to a previously stable date:
