Bedeuten Sie das htsim8r.exe laufen nicht an allen oder, daß Ihr Stock noch nicht im Spiel zentriert, welches das htsim8r.exe laufen läßt?

Actually, I was asking him what he meant by "bat not work"......if he means the .exe he downloaded doesnt work (ie AH doesnt run) or if, when running AH using this new .exe file, he still doesnt get a return to center force.

Or trying to anyway, knowing the awesome power of babelfish I probably just asked if his mother wears combat boots to bed.

I think he's just referring to the .exe file as a batch file (.bat).

ok, look underneath the stick.  You'll see some grey writing (NOT the black writing on the white sticker) that says PART NO.

What does it say after that?

Also, does the stck calibrate and test ok in Windows?  I know it is a basic thing, but I just had to ask.

From what I can gather, there were two different versions of the MS FF sticks.  The inconsistency in who's is working and who is not is wierd.  There has to be something common in this.

Are the sticks gameport or USB?
Do you have any control/driver software loaded?
I assume this is all running under Windows XP?
If the stick is a gameport, what gameport adapter are you using?

X08-58736......

Thats the same as mine and the patch works ok for me.  The only difference is I'm using the Sidewinder Game Controller Software v4.0 and you aren't.

If you don't have the install disc that came with the stick you can download v4.0 from here

Try it and see.

Skuzzy, I downloaded patch and it works with a couple issues. First, stick goes limp in hanger, tower, etc. It will work at take off and flight although forces are diminshed from previous performance. I noticed the stick goes out during the pre-loading of the video memory - about the time the truck loads. Any thoughts as to the paralysis in hanger/tower?

BTW, I use the MS FF2 with red light and 4.0 software running on XP Home Edition.

i DLed the file lastnight and my stick works with all the forces again SWFFB2 green light.
But now some of my graffix seem messed up..like when i shoot at ground targets the rds seem to go threw the ground.
Skuzzy is there a perma fix in the works for this?
I love haveing my forces back but it seems like i had to pay in other areas for this to happen :(
