Sorry if I missed your on-line question jbnace, next time go private channel with me, I rarely have time to check open channel.
What type of JS do you have?
One thing AH will do is test your patience when it comes to configuring a JS, I've had some odd things happen with my CH Products set-up, not sure if its related to the game or my hardware, but, being persistant was the key to successfulness. Don't give up, keep asking questions, use BB's to your best ability, and, whether you have CH Products gear or not, I highly suggest a dedicated joystick card (game card) for your JS peripherials, adding this to my system diposed of alot of problems I had.
