Control locks
« on: December 23, 2002, 12:05:02 AM »
Hi all.
I have a big problem with my joystick.
It locks more in dives but also in srtaight
and level flight.
When i fire for first time in a fight it
responts after 1/2 , 1 sec enough to die.
The joy is a force feedback 2 but i have
the same locks with the thrustmaster
topgun.
Please help.
My system is a PIII 1 Ghz with 500 ram,
64 mb graphics sis 630/730.
Its a notebook.

Don't be offended but notebooks aren't really the best things to be gaming on.  The soundcards generally suck,  a SIS video card...  definitly didn't make the gamers choice awards.  Laptops generally place a lot of the load on the processors for the sond and video, I wouldn't be surprised if you went to a desktop and your problems went away.

Offended ? For what ? :)
I know very well what i buy, but the
problem is that i have to play with the
notebook because i use it from my job.
I was playing AW at 93 with a Amiga500
in a greek bbs ( Compulink.gr  ) with
mouse !! and after the dos AW and AWII.
and never had these lock problems :)
Thanks for your response :)
