Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback Pro problems

[ksjayhawks]

hello,  I have a Microsoft Force Feedback Pro and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2002 professional edition and it seems that my joystick will not work in FS2002. My joystick is plugged in, installed, and everything.  Does anyone know what i could try to get my joystick working with my game?? If so please help.

                            Thank You,

cannot remember offhand how to set up the joystick in fs2002 but go to the controller settings and tinker with them

Do you, by any chance, have Ac'97 onboard sound?, and is the Joystick a gameport one? If so, you might find the force feedback won't work.

I have had the same trouble you are having. Try re-installing the sound driver.

Does the stick work in other games?
