I'm having problems getting the controller to work for longer than about a minute. It will work for 30 seconds perfectly and then I start noticing that the plane (or vehicle) isn't responding immediately, there's a 1-2 second delay where it continues with my last command (turn into the water) and then it goes through with the new input. After about 15 seconds of that it stops responding entirely and I have to go into joystick and recalibrate, then it'll be fine for another 30 seconds and i'll have the 15seconds of jerky motion following it. At this point recalibration does nothing and the joystick is dead.
Any suggestions? I set it up in device manager and can get it to work there fine, when it goes in aces high and dies for the last time it is also dead in device manager (can't get it to move around in the box). I looked through all the microsoft web site stuff and found nothing except that maybe my sound system is interfering with the gameport, the gameport is located on the sound card and microsoft's suggestion of disabling the sound card to work with the joystick doesn't work because the gameport goes too.
Please post anything that you think would help me out, it would be greatly appreciated.
