Pnakotus never learned about the xbcd360 driver which lets you use the x360 pad in other versions of windows. Plz, if the manufacturers driver sucks, see if they're an alternative driver that doesn't suck. Sometimes you'll come out lucky. Anyway pnakotus just think how great i felt when i had my first x360 controller with win2k. I was **** out of luck, then i found xbcd drivers for the xbox original controller, then i found modified xbcd drivers that supported the x360 controller. After that you'd be amazed at how useful the xbcd360 drivers are.
Pnakotus to get that native x360 controller working in most versions of windows and with i'm not joking about complete domination of the controller here go here. They say the driver is experimental, but they've had some updates since then, and really the driver works flawlessly with no bugs that i experienced...this is the same driver i used.
http://matt-land.com/xbcd/Pnakotus, if you need more support for the xbcd360 driver, especially if you have a third party x360 controller that isn't supported by the driver in the first link, go here.
http://xbcd360guide.50webs.com/index.htmlNow plz no more *****ing about how much the windows 360 driver sucks, because it blows ass. All this does is surprise the hell out of me that people don't know about xbcd360 drivers. After that the x360 controller is so much better than a ps2 pad. It's great for fs2, and i really hope you didn't get rid of the x360 controller because you tried the windows driver and it sucked and you didn't look for an alternative.
Ps2esque pads blow.
Plz try out the xbcd360 driver.
Also keep in mind most profiling software blows. Xbcd360 drivers don't come with a button mapper, but it lets you change all aspects of the controller. If you want a button to be an axis, an axis to be a button, or the analog triggers to be independent axes, or turn the dpad into a joystick, you can do all this ****ing ridiculous stuff like that with the xbcd360 drivers. It might sound ridiculous the way i just made it sound, but it gets useful if you for stuff like changing the aspects of the secondary joystick and what not and whatever else you can think of. After that leave mapping to the game, stuff like controlmk is a useful mapper but you might easily find out where controlmk (controlmk blows absolute ass for mapping buttons to an axis) sucks. Anyway you have fun with the "best controller in the world" as the second website i linked says it.
