X-BTF + Logitech Wingman 3d throttle doesn't work?

[Whiplash]

Hey all... I recently found x-gold used and have been playing both X-BTF and X-tension. I cannot get the throttle on my Logitech Wingman 3D joystick to work in X-BTF. It does however work in X-tension.

I am using the latest patched version of X-BTF. I wonder if there is a workaround or if it just will not work.

Also, I have a small graphical glitch I wanted to ask about. The textures that make up nebula's do not seem to line up properly. I see seams in them here and there. Is there any way to fix this?

Thanks in advance for any help.

I've had the same problem in BTF with my ms force feedback2, and I don't think there's a fix for it. They're not releasing anymore patches for either BTF or XT.

As for the backgrounds, I've never noticed it myself, but I haven't played BTF for a long time. Have you tried higher res? I don't think it'd fix it though. dunno. Someone else will be able to help with that.

NO joystick throttle control will work in X-BTF if you're running Windows 2000 or XP (not sure about ME, but it may also be affected)--this problem wasn't fixed until release 2.0 of X-Tension, and I don't think Egosoft have any plans to include the fix in X-BTF.

Re the background textures - I had this problem when I first bought X-BTF because my graphics cards was only 16bit. As already posted, increasing the resolution or changing to 32bit colour should do the trick.

thanks guys. I guess the XP is the problem with the throttle then. Not the end of the world though because I'll prob give up on BTF soon and just play x-tension. I've made good progress in BTF and like the new features in x-tension more.

On the nebula problem though, I am running 32bit color. 1024x768x32 and I've tried both kinds of 32 bit textures, with the A:0 and A:8 at the end (not sure what the difference is). This is an older card, a Geforce DDR 64mb running 30.82 detonator drivers. I only see these seams in some of the nebulas, and it's not a huge problem, I just hoped I could fix it.
