For some reason, buttons on my joystick don't function. I can't fire weapons or do anything with any button, but it STEERS just fine. I did hear that joysticks weren't working properly for DOSbox yet. Is this one of the things that isn't working?

And I know, I posted somewhere else too... But I didn't see the "don't post here" bit until after... 😖

Oh, and if I hold down the trigger and second button, I change weapons. Which is pretty dumb, since I can't fire except from the keyboard.

DOSBox only support 2 joystick buttons atm, and X-wing uses 4 of them.

Wierd. I still don't see why it doesn't work.

And another wierd thing : I can click things in menus with the joystick buttons, but they just don't work in combat.

I guess I'll just have to hold out for better joystick support in DOSBox. Thanks Freddo.
