- What types of PC are you using?
-
- Someone else san probably go into the details
- better, but conventioanl joysticks can have
- problems with fast 486s. The solution to this
- is either get a joystick that knows about a 486
- (I have a flight stick) or get an I/O board
- made for 486s or fast computers.
-
- I received a patch disk from dynamix for
- Red Baron because of a joystick problem.
- I'm not sure if there are joystick patches
- for the other programs.
-
- Hope this helps (flame me if I'm wrong), Lachlan.
