CH Flight Stick Joystick NO GO

[Guest Gary Nicholson]

I Have an AMD 950 w/Windows Millenium and a CH Flight Stick Joystick. Windows recoginizes and I can calibrate the joystick but when i go into BattleCruiser and it asks me to bring the joystick up to top left corner and press a button nothing happens. I have looked thru all the faq.'s and online info and nothing seems to apply. Sound card

is Soundblaster Live. Sound works fine. Rest of Game works fine. It's frustrating trying to fly a ship with the arrow pad.

Try going into Config, changing to keyboard. Then quit, delete the joystick config file. Start the game, go back into config and change to joystick.

...its all in the FAQ.

[Guest Gary Nicholson]

Thankyou for your reply Commander. The only thing I keep running into is that no joystick.cfg file ever seems to be created and thus that step in the procedures cannot be accomplished. Is there somewhere else other than the BC3000ad folder it might be held?

Thanks...

If it doesn't create one, that means it can't detect the joystick. Try opening up a DOS console window and adding /j param and seeing if it returns anything.

[Guest Gary Nicholson]

I tried your recommendation and received the following.

invalid joystick.set

This file also does not exist in my directory.

Thanks again for your assistance Commander. Hope this leads onto the right track.

The file won't be created unless you actually go into Config, select a joystick, and quit the game. Then see if that file is created or not, then try the /j switch again.

Commander:

I have checked several times after configuring for joystick and no joystick.set file is created. This may be because I do not get past the calibrate joystick screen after the configure screen but have to esc out for keyboard option.

Then its not detecting the joystick. Its not a USB stick is it?

[Guest Gary Nicholson]

Commander:

No, its a regular CH Flightstick Joystick. Guess I'm S.O.L.

[Supreme Cmdr]

Well, dunno what to tell you. All I know is that I used to play BC3K with *that* particular joystick and it worked fine.

Did you try selecting just the pure joystick option in Config?

I'm gonna buy a CH Flight Stick Joystick because the SC played bc3k on it, ahe must know somehting we don't

[Guest Gary Nicholson]

I re-installed program w/upgrades and had already tried every joystick config listed but still no go. No joystick.set file is ever created. It could very well be possible that Windows Me is the problem because it doesn't do DOS well at all.

The operative phrase there is used to

Now I have a Cyborg Gold, Thrustmaster Top Gun, Sidewinder Pro etc. Not a CH stick in sight.
