flight simulator 2000

I have a chyborg graphite joystick. the game recognizes the controler and in the properties of the game it works great but it doesent work on the aircrafts when you go back to try to fly no throttle recognition or anything else what can be wrong with it. Thanks in advance

I know I have to actually physically disconnect my two ff wheels and one of
my two rumblepads before FS2004 uses the one remaining rumblepad properly.

MS's premium game and they don't even support multipule joysticks properly,
in fact one can say they actually made no attempt from how it acts if more
than one joystick device is attached, e.g. axis isn't recognized and other
anomalies..

I burned off a copy for prosperity and then returned the damn original back
for a refund I was so po'd. I might check it out again using the copy I kept
if/when I ever see a patch to correct their shoddy programming. I'm not
holding my breath.

Announcing you have illegal copies of Microsoft software, in a newsgroup on
a Microsoft server probably isn't a very clever idea.

I spent an hr driving to town (another coming back home) to buy that game,
then another two hours to return the damn thing. Let's also not forget the
"fight" I had to "convince" the vendor to refund my money.

Damn right, I kept a copy. It's right up here on the shelf, unused (because
of the no more than one joystick device bs). As I said, I'll keep an eyeout
for any patch that addresses this issue so I kept the copy to insure I
didn't waste time and money to simply repurchase the same crap. When I find
a patch to fix said problem, I'll repurchase (probably but at least it'll be
at my convenience).

They don't like it, too f'ing bad. If they'd done their job properly it
wouldn't be a problem and I resent the waste of time and money it took to
find out.

Note : I did not like that the only way to find this out beforehand would be
to ask someone etc. as this ommission is buried in a readme of some sort on
one of the cd's (if memory serves me right). Asking MS directly beforehand
is at best "awkward" and at worst a waste of time.

P.S. You see any patch out fixes that issue. NO? Neither have I nior do I
expect to. Therefore, it's junk to me as it stands.

Perhaps you could make a "wish" and they could consider it for FS10?

Drumming up some support in the community, might help too, may be even some
of them know enough about the game to mod it to implement it!
