Only SWON reference... :eek:
The same is true of any PC stick on any game (unless that stick has been designed to work on both PC and PS2, at which point it would usually have the PS2's normal connector as well as the USB plug) - they just won't work.
Arcade PC flying games? Crimson Skies and Secret Weapons Over Normandy are widely considered the best of the bunch. Blazing Angels came out recently too but it has a very broken controller assignment utility so it's not really any good with most joysticks!
Hail all. My son at the ripe old age of nine (yesterday) is showing an interest in flight sims. After being beat up in his attempt flying in IL2 with settings cranked down, I loaded up the arcade game Secret Weapons Over Normandy. For what ever reason, I was not able to have the game recognize the X45 HOTAS with or without SST. For the interim a plugged in a ST90 and he is off and flying on his PC.
I loaded SWoN on my old game PC. Ran it up with the X52 HOTAS and it will run and remap with or without SST. The game will not recognize the pedals… Pulled off the X52 and pedals, plugged in the X45 and rebooted. The X45 is recognized in the taskbar and windows. Run SWoN and no recognition with or without a profile running SST. The X45 runs fine with LOMAC and IL2. All drivers are current, etc.
Part of the exercise was to have my son get used to using the X45. Is there any hope for the X45 and Secret Weapons Over Normandy? :confused:
