thank you VP....that's it....roaming's a new folder layer I guess......having stick problems as well that run the following course...........my stick.....it works when I turn on the computer, tests fine but when I load either CFS3 or OFF the stick goes dead, limp.....the buttons all work but there's no FF or motor tension in the stick at all....and that limp state remains after I close the game....but's back to normal after a restart without a game loaded.....any thoughts all?? thanks

What joystick? Do you know if it has any support for Win7?

Besides have you activated FF in Workshop options?

I gave up on Win 7 for OFF because my joystick wouldn't calibrate properly (and my webcam image was upside down ) I still have Win 7 on one drive, but XP on the other boot drive.

 

I like Win 7 as it's very pretty and the thing of the future, but I'll wait with OFF until I replace my joystick with one which comes with the proper driver. And even then, what the hell, OFF works fine in XP.

it's a ch thrustmaster....a ludicrous name i'll grant you but there it is......there is no FF as I understand it with off right now but there certainly was with CFS3....that shouldn't have changed. The stick feels fine when the computer's on but as soon as I load a game it goes dead....is that when drivers are loaded????or does that happen first thing when the computer starts and there a recognized device, the joystick, attached to the usual usb port???....in which case it's something in the game that's killing the stick.... and yes ff is ticked on off workshop and on cfs controls preference pane. in any event I don't hear a storm of wails about this here or over on sim-outhouse so there must be sticks/drivers that are working fine w/ win7.....what do you have that works please....i gotta have a stick that works..........thanks

[Von Paulus 8]

what do you have that works please

It's not FF it's a Thrustmaster t.160000m. Yes works fine, nice response.

Have you gone to the Thrustmaster drivers page and see if there is a driver for win7. For mine was a beta driver.

yeah..............unless i missed something.....always likely....last driver update was jan 09..........an unlikely solution but maybe time for a new stick......thanks
