Title: Saitek Cyborg 3D Gold Not Recognised?
Post by: Dog909 on January 18, 2006, 10:21:07 am

I can't get the game to recognise my joystick at all.
I'm using the latest drivers, have uninstalled/reinstalled
the stick but no joy.  Freespace recognises EVERY other
damn peripheral I have (wheels/pads & that) but not the
cyborg! wtf?
I'm running the latest version of FS_Open - is there a bug
with this & cyborgs?
My stick worked fine with vanilla Freespace & still works fine
in all my other games. I don't particularly want to use saiteks
stick mapping program (I'm not convinced it will change
anything anyway)
Any ideas????

 :mad:

TIA

Hmm... offhand, I've not encountered this with my Saitek.  Have you tried selecting the stick in the original launcher(i.e FS v1.2), and then running FSO?  I believe the joystick data set in the original launcher should be carried over to the FSO in that case.  Although, offhand, I'm stumped.

The original launcher no longer runs since I added
FS_Open!
I think I might just uninstall/reinstall the game & go
step-by-step from there
......oh joy!

I just lost my router a few days ago to compund
the misery. More expence.

THat's odd.  I've never had a problem with the launcher; it may point to the old FS2 exe, but it still seems to write the correct reg settings.  Perhaps this has changed, though - been a while since I last played FSO.
