Re: Descent 1 Windows XP Home

by Emil Gruenbaer <Gruenbaer@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Mar 4, 2006 at 12:37 PM

Hi everybody,

I got D1 to work with D1x, but I can not use my Sidewinder 3D Pro.
It is not possible to use the axis, if I want to define it it 
immediately turns to R2.
Any ideas how I could solve this?
And yes, I prefer playing D1 as opposed to playing D1 levels on D2.

Thanks!

Emil
