Hi All, The other day I bought a Logitech Wingman Attack joystick. It does not work very well. Had no problems installing, calibrating, and testing on my Win98 Pentium MMX. The test screen suggests that the device works correctly. But when I play my games (tried 3 different ones), the stick does not react to movement. Instead I keep turning left continuously, it seems like it keeps transmitting the equivalent of left-arrow. This also screws up things like option menus. Logitech support sez if it works in test mode, the problem must be in my games setups. May be true but 3 different games all react exactly the same once I tel them to use the joystick, so I think it must be something more basic. Perhaps I should upgrade drivers and DirectX ? Thanks for any ideas ! Cheers, Chris PS - Anyone else using this particular type of joystick ? It does not seem to be a very current model, either it's very old or very new. Any experiences appreciated.
