I had CH F-16 Combatstick and I always have problems whit Directx5 or 6. So I use vjoyd.vxd file from Directx3.0, I have no problems

. I have a Flying Corps ( not gold ) CD whit this file, if you like to try, I could post this file in a hp or send by e-mail. If you have and old CD whit this file, rename vjoyd.vxd in windows/system and paste the old vjoyd.vxd.
Sorry my english.
