I did the tests in the Xwing trainer. I always made the attempt to complete the course as quickly as I could. With the CYBORG I found I had to line up the targets earlier and if I was off line on the first target it was unlikely that I would be able to correct the line to hit the next target. This …

Well, aside from the fact that the broad-sides of barns are all safe from destruction. I tested both sticks in the XWING Combat Training Maze and I did better each time I used the Sidewinder. It seemed to me that the CYBORG F.L.Y. 5 was 'jumpy' in comparison to the Sidewinder Pro. I have both …

OK the outcome. XWING works with both joysticks BUT the CYBORG wanders if the Sidewinder is attached. Disconnect the sidewinder and the CYBORG works. The Sidewinder was marked as the prefered Joystick. I just unplugged it. I am yet to try changing preference setting. I get back to you on that. …

Well thanks for all the suggestions. I shut down the computer last night and when I restarted this morning the CYBORG was in the Control panel/games controller section. I don't often shut down for other reasons BUT the Cyborg worked OK on Xwing vs TIE fighter OK before I shut down. So the lesson …

Dominis: Well it is promising to know that a USB joystick will work BUT the details you offer don't help me much. Dosbox does not see my USB stick.

For reasons I don't know I had kept the packaging (possibly pack rat genes) for the joystick. The yoke(?) of the joystick had a …
