it's not in the joystick section, it's much further up. No one was repeating earlier because everyone thought you should be able to find that in the config file

try
timed=false

I just said, I set timed=false. Alright I see it now. What do you recommend setting it to? I'm guessing fixed, but what value do you recommend?

My bad. I said I set timed=true. I meant false but I was kinda tired when I wrote that. False does not work.

There is no 'timed=fixed' setting.

1. have you calibrated your joystick in windows?
2. does it work in windows games?

did you try the cycles?

I meant cycles. God I am sleep deprived. Sorry for the confusion. The joystick works perfectly with X-Wing Alliance, a more recent game. It's a USB joystick, and I am pretty sure it is calibrated in windows. What cycle settings do you recommend and if it is not calibrated in windows, where would I go for that? The control panel?

yes

Ok. Then yeah it should be, but I will try it again in a little while.

by the way - there is a windows version of tie fighter

For XP?

It's not the same...most noticable the midi score is missing instead the cd audio is looping again and again 😀

Well I don't think it's an calibration issue. And I don't think I would get the above mentioned version as the midi score is a classic and an audio loop would drive me nuts.
