In article <3l8lrq$j...@eplet.mira.net.au>, bla...@werple.mira.net.au says... > >Just bought the Thrustmaster FCS mark II and WCS mark II joysticks the other day :: Text snipped:: I'm not positive, but I'm pretty sure that the WCS MK II only allows one button on either joystick to be used at any given time. To get around this problem you should definately let the fire button run as just that, and I'd also suggest running the secondary button as analog (not programmed through the WCS) but I am not sure that will work. I personally avoided the problem entirerly by getting the F-16 FLCS instead of the FCS Mark II and WCS Mark II. It allows simultaneous button pressing. =) If it doesn't cost much more wherre you got your joytick, I would recommend getting the FLCS and returning the FCS Mk. II, because the WCS can be run through the FLCS. The pressing of button one problem can be corrected by just downloading the file to the WCS right before the first time you play Descent after turning on your computer. Todd Wagner --todd...@vt.edu
