Got it. I couldn't configure the resource settings on my Gameport in the device manager. So I installed \"new hardware,\" i.e. installed a second \"gameport,\" and set its resource range to 0200-0200. Then I selected Sidewinder 3D pro and told it to use the new gameport and voila...

I have it set as a Thrustmaster only because, although it would detect the Sidewinder 3D Pro and list it as such, it would always say that it was \"not connected.\" If I choose any other joystick config, such as the Thrustmaster, it recognizes it just fine, including all of the axises and ...

Yeah. In the Windows game controller config, it recognizes everything, even though I have it put in as a Thrustmaster. Is there anyway I can get D2XL to pull its data from Windows instead of having to config it in-game? Edit: Oh yeah, and if I run just regular \"Descent II Win95\" the joys...

I guess I'll check out some Port->USB adaptors. Thing is, I've tried my roommate's and it works fine for his joystick but doesn't work at all for mine. Oh well. I just think that this whole problem is strange considering that the joystick works 100% in Descent 1 (rebirth version) and works in D2X-XL...

It doesn't allow me to manually enter a value. However, I do recall another xxx/IRQ7 option, but it wasn't either of the values you presented. Should I choose that? This won't cause anything irreversable to happen I assume...

Did you follow my instructions on how to set the proper BIOS values? I tried to find where to set those values in BIOS but I assume mine differs from yours. This is what I see under "Integrated Peripherals": Onboard FDC Controller : Enabled Onboard Serial Port 1 : 3F8/IRQ4 Onboard Serial ...

Tried all of the above. Unsynced/Synced axises, etc., but it still won't recognize the twist when I try to set my joystick controls. It just sits there flashing the [ ? ] box waiting for input to bind the control. I don't think I said this before, but windows won't recognize my sidewinder 3D pro as ...

Still no luck on the twist axis. It works in Descent 1 \"rebirth,\" and windows recognizes the joystick just fine. It's just that when I run D2X-XL, it doesn't recognize that axis. Quite strange. Something I do notice, though, is that if any descent is minimized, or I access the desktop so...

I downloaded the newest version today and still no luck with the twist axis. It recognizes everything else still. Quite strange.

I apologize if this was brought forward in the past - I searched these forums and couldn't find anyone detailing the same problem that I have. I use the 3D Pro and did a fresh install of Descent 2. It's also the latest version. I installed D2X-XL and everything seems to run fine except that I cannot...
