As per a post from agn3d 7a fixes usb related problems in directplay.

Being that I have a usb joystick which bounces and generally sucks I thought I'd upgrade.

Result: 33 fps 7a vs. 27 fps 7
Bouncy: 50% less bounce in 7a vs 7

Conclusion: MS screwed 7 when it came to doing usb .. You MUST get this upgrade if you have a usb joystick.

Hey HaHa, I downloaded DX-7a and got a great improvement in the dreaded bounce!. Thanks for the post, as it helped me and probably a lot of others as well! Aces High is much more enjoyable now, but I would still love to see a much better flight model.

Bounce for me is the same ol' horizontal bungee as always.
