>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.
