you probably need your operating system to manually install the drivers. i got the same joystick (bless the five years i've put into this thing), and i run windows xp. xp didn't detect my joystick until i told it to auto-detect the right hardware and install the proper drivers. go to control panel, then game controllers; i'm sure you can figure out what to do from there.
I think my problem is that it doesnt like the serial port to USB adapter. It auto detect a sidewinder 3d pro..but says not connected...so...i dont think it likes the cnnection. I guess I will have to put my old sound card back in if I want to use that joystick. Oh well....I dont know if I want to take out my Audigy just to use a joystick.
well, it is suppose to plug into a game port...and I have no games ports on my pc...my audigy has firewire and no gameport. But, I do have a game port to USB adapter and thats where my problem is...It doesnt seem to want to work. Matter of fact, I have two adapters like that. Im not sure why it doesnt like it. Says it "not connected" even when it is...dunno???? So, I'm having to to stick with my broken thrustmaster top gun fox 2 pro until I figure it out. Everything works on it except the main trigger... I'll just make due with what I got until I figure it out
