Hi All!

I'm trying to play Jane's ATF and USAF. Now it mostly runs fine, but when I try to configure my throttle and rudder controls, they get reversed! Any advice on how to resolve this? Thanks!

Hello, from your post in the PC Emulation forum we cannot deduce anything. You need to provide tons more information (OS, emulator you use, version of the games (CD-Rom, floppy) and how you installed it, joystick, etc).

Ah, I see! My apologies. It occurred in both Windows 7 Pro, and XP. Emulator I suppose would be 0.74, the game versions are all CD-ROM, instllation occurred through the standard DOS installer via the emulator. The joystick is a Logitech extreme 3d pro, however it has also done the same thing with previous sticks (think it was a mad catz f.l.y.5. before THAT stick just died...). I hope this is sufficient information?

Thanks!

A moderator with sufficient rights will have to move this to the Dosbox forum. You know, there is more than one PC emulator hence my question which you used.

Try out the different joystick settings in the dosbox configuration, there is a shortcut in your start menu for editing it (in the dosbox group (only if you used the installer from dosbox.com)).

Well I'll be damned! What little I know... The config file has an option under joystick for reversing axes. I just changed it to "true" I thank you kindly for the assist!!
