Copying Joystick Settings to New Computer
« on: September 02, 2009, 12:09:51 PM »
I fly with both a a laptop (that is for crap) and a PC (when I'm home) and the joysticks are the same but the laptop joystick settings seem to be more stable.  Which files can I move over to duplicate the laptop joystick performance on the PC?

If you're talking about your joystick setup in game then just follow Fugitive's advice.  However, if you're talking about the windows joystick settings then you're basically out of luck as you can't transfer those settings from one system to another.

OK...SNAFU city.  My Logitech Pro 3D isn't any of the listed .jsm's.  Any ideas? :O

Go to Start>My Comp.>Local Disc C:>HiTechCreations>AcesHigh>Settings>find your stick.
Right click copy.and then Right click Paste to where you want it.
At least that's the way it is in Windows XP. Don't know about Vista or i7.

If your stick is recognized in Windows, AH will automatically create a .jsm file for it in the AH settings folder.  Honestly, the easiest thing for you to do would be to copy your settings folder on your laptop and move it to the AH folder on your desktop.
