I've got a pain in the butt problem...

By the way, I also found out that when my MS FF stick got accidentally disconnected, I had to go through the same process with the Windows XP registry edits.I'm not sure where FS 2002 gets it's joystick information. I made it rebuild the fs2002.cfg file, and even deleted the .cfg file. I also tried just re-booting my system, to no avail.But once I had done a few of those Registry edits (not all the keys that it said to delete were present), I re-booted for a third time, and the stick was recognized in FS 2002.The entire time I could bring up the "Calibrate Joystick" option in FS 2002, and the stick would appear as being "Ok" and I could test it's movement and button responses to input.Go figure.Best,Cage
