Something weird that I'm running into is my buttons are rapid fire when I run the game but the auto fire is turned off in the DosBox config section. All other joystick functions are fine in Apache and the stick performs great in Top Gun: Fire at Will without this problem.

Anything you might suggest that I could try to fix this? I check the settings in game and there isn't anything for rapid fire to disable there.

The stick is a Saitek USB Gold, 14 button with Hat. The console sees the stick fine with 4 axes and a hat when the console comes up so thats normal as well.

I noticed something else as well. The game does it regardless of what kind of stick you tell it you're using. It does it for all types.

Here is my config log for DosBox for joysticks:

joysticktype=fcs
timed=false
autofire=false
swap34=false
buttonwrap=false

I have to use Timed=False to prevent drift but I tried turning that off just for the heck of it and it still does it. I also tried picking a different stick to emulate. Same issue.
