Hi all! I'm having some difficulties getting my CH CombatStick 568 USB, to work in DOSBox. I'm running DosBox 6.1 in Linspire 4.5. The OS recognizes the controler but DOSBox does not! I read that DOSBox is suposed to simply recognize the controller without any issue's, so I'm guessing that this may not work. If there is no fix, what is the best Flight Stick to get for this setup?

Oh, one more thing. I don't have a lot of money to spend on a new controller so just a basic 4-button flight stick will do. I've got "Hind" running in DOSBox and really want a flightstick to use with it. Hind is my all time favorite helicopter simulator!

start dosbox from a terminal
and see wether it reports that it finds a joystick.

if it doesn't check libsdl

This is how it looks on my place:

1$ dosbox
2CONFIG: Using default settings. Create a configfile to change them
3ALSA:Client initialised [65:0]
4MIDI:Opened device:alsa
5Using joystick Gravis Xterminator Digital with 5 axes and 11 buttons

How to ask questions the smart way!
