How do you configure a joystick on Win XP?
« on: May 18, 2006, 05:13:29 pm »
Bought Ubisoft's Ultimate Flight Collection today and damn, it's been so long since I played a joystick oriented game, I forgot!

How do I configure the darn thing? Op sys: Win XP.

Thanks!

Shot in the naughty bits, and then have the shot-hole peed IN.

Make sure you run the calibration routine!
