It just doesn't work...

Gonna put here the email CH sended me:


Sir,
         I am sorry but the industry as a whole has shifted to a new
generation of technology, USB.  What this means is that game port
controllers are a technological cul-de-sac.  We have already discontinued
most of our game port devices and more are to follow.  Due to limitations
of NT based operating systems the keyboard pass through programming
capability of game port devices is impossible.  There will be no game port
programming software for NT based operating systems.  This is one of the
prime reasons the gaming industry as a whole has transitioned to USB
controllers as apposed to game port.  USB devices are able to be programmed
in the NT environment, hence their rapid acceptance.

Well I talked to a guy at CH over AIM. Found out that the control manager software wont be ready for win2k till early December. So I reformated to win98. Still could'nt get my mini map to work, something doesnt like my throttle. But just as soon as I do that AH releases the new patch with more buttons to program. SO unless you want the mini joystick to work go ahead and jsut assign buttons on the stick in AH. So I'm gonna go ahead and reinstall win2k and wait till December to sue my mini joystick, everything will work fine now.
