New Joystick....and XT

[Warchild]

'k mates, as some of you know, I finally upgraded my PC...
The "new" joystick I have is an MS force fed back2.
when playing XT there is literally no tension in the stick...no centering or anything...Course...I think I set everything within XT to strong...but its the only game that has a problem with the tension during the game...or...is it supposed to be that way?

uh, have you set the centering tension up in the properties of the joystick?

um. That's the only thing I can think of, I have good centering during X. But it's not as strong as a spring or anything.


hehehe does your whole desk shake when you're firing AHEPT's?

Everythings seems to be set in the MS settings.
The stick practically jumps on the floor when I fire the HEPTs

It must be an XT thing as its the only game that seems to have this problem./ The force feedback works great...but there is nothing for centering though...its like the joystick is unplugged.
In every other game I gave...there is excellent centering...like there is a spring in it

[Warchild]

No joy....completely reinstalled the game and tried to get the centering strength in the joystick....stick feels dead but there's force feed back and the controls and everything work...really wish there was something I could do with it. Even made a configuration for it...didn't help one bit.
Guess I'm flying with a dead stick from now on...proves to be a bit more interesting...have mega control...but no centering.

If you have Win XP:
Activate the "Win98/Me"-compatibility mode in the X-tension.exe (or whatever exe you use),and in the X-shortcut @ desktop (if you use some)
