Flight Controls

I like flying with FS2002, and I like driving too. This is why I have CH Combat Stick and CH Throttle (gameport) for FS2002, and a Sidewinder Force Feedback Wheel (USB) for the need for speed...Consequently, I decided to use the pedals that come with the driving wheel to control the rudder. It used to work fine, until I updated DirectX to version 8.1b. Since that time, the pedals stop working after I use FS2002 for some time (around 30 minutes), but the stick and throttle work well. I have the latest version of the sidewinder drivers.If someone has the same config, using the Sidewinder pedals for rudder control, please let me know what version of DirectX you're using and let me know if you have the same problem.Thanks for any info !!Eric
