does sb know how to use the SW3dPro with D3 ? because, when it IS recognised by windows XP, it works, but often it is NOT recognised (this is a well known bug which microsoft doesn't want to fix) so i decided to create a new joystick, called "My Joystick" (with 4 buttons+hat+"gaz") But the problem is that i can't fire and use the POV (the hat button) at the same time, which is very annoying.... I know it succeeded to have this bug fixed a long time ago but i can't remember how !! thanxs a lot !

Configure it as a thrustmaster with rudder and calibrate normal joystick and the twist. Enjoy the 4way hat-switch, 4 firebuttons and forget abaout thrust and the base buttons. Lueder

Does the joystick appear as valid joystick in Windows? Did you go through the setup in D3? Have you entered your joystick setup in the options menue? Lueder

The SW3D Pro works in 3 modes: - using the original (mostly not properly working) driver - emulating a CH Flightstick (can´t detect several fire buttons used simultaniously) - emulating a Thrustmaster When not using the original driver (can´t connect bug) you can choose which emulation you want by switching that litlle switch at the front side of the base. Using the 2-dot-position ist the Thrustmaster mode. Delete all joystick drivers in Windows and reinstall it like I mentioned before as a Thrustmaster Joystick with Rudder control. Lueder

After clicking the D3 icon the D3 startup screen appears. Click on setup and choose controllers. If the joystick is propperly installed it will show up. Did I mention that you have to delete other drivers for the sw3d? Lueder
