I wasn't having this problems before but I'm locking up after I save config as mine and try to change a control key. It will
let me select a key but the OFF Manager locks up. I've installed and reinstalled twice already, changed joystick....
It seems I'm not having any luck with this game, spent a great amount of time trying to get it to run but it seems
to be one thing after another.
I suppost I could just go into the xlm file and change it there. I don't have any of these problems with the CFS3 game running
but as the title of this thread states, Am I missing something obvious?

Yes it works very well, but I have install SideWinder Game Controllsoftware 4.0 and give every button one piece and name it cfs 3What exactly do mean by: "give every button on piece and name it cfs 3"

Would this be better in the OFF BHaH forum (unless you have got it sorted?)Still working on the problem atm.
The question is about game controllers > MS FFB2 Sidewinder.
I'm using it in a number of games: CFS3, IL2, Battleground Europe, OFF BHAE and would like to resolve some of the
problems I'm having.
I've posted in the OFF forums as well.
thanks

I'm having a problem in both CFS3 and OFF BHAH where the force has to be reset when I get into the game. With
CFS3 I can get out thru the Calibrate button and I only have to do it once I get into the game. In OFF BHAH it's not as reliable and I have to do it on every respawn.
Do you have this problem?
All three of my MS FFB2 Sidewinder joysticks are USB and the version is 4.3.281 created 6/28/2000, isn't this the version 4.0 you mention?
thanks

I'm trying to use this stick to play OFF and I'm having some issues with the forces; is it working for you?

I can't find the file the FAQ way but I think I found it. It's an XML file called devices.
In bold is the part of the file it says to delete.

See the FAQ Jamato46probably.. "Q8. My rudder pedals seem to be reversed? -OR- How do I configure my CH Pro rudder pedals to run in OFF? -OR- I get odd changes in controls in flight, and I have rudder pedals and a twist joystick?"
question
I haven't seen a FAQ section yet; can you please direct me.

Hi,
I'm trying to use a Microsoft FFB2 and CH pedals to play OFF and it's not working out. The twist rudder on the stick is
active as well as the pedal rudder. Also when I come to the select screen the sticks gyros are working fine but as soon
as soon as WWI is initialized and I am in the cockpit the stick looses its axis force. In other words it's as limp as a wet
noodle.
My solution has been to hit eacape which will pause the game, bring up the controller panel and click on calibrate the
joystick. As soon as I get to the Force Control all I have to do it click OK, which brings me back to the controller panel,
click ok to exit the controller panel then close the selection panel and I'm back in the cockpit with a working joystick.
This is a pain in the butt work-a-round and it doesn't always work. Often when I hit the calibrate button on the controller
panel I get nothing but a locked up computer and the only way to get out is to hit the reset switch and then reboot.
Anyone got any idea what I can do to solve this, short of using another joystick to play OFF?

Nothing fancy just normal things like zoom, landing gear to the joystick instead of the keyboard. After I save/configure, the
box appears where I can put in the key or button and I enter the info but am locked up at that point. Contol Alt Delete lets
me shut down the OFF Manager but I cannot change control settings in the controller section.
I've had CFS3 running for about 3 weeks on both my computers and have had no problems with that game at all. I was able to
do this on the last install but am unable to now.
BTW if the key is used you can change it if you click ok.
I've installed 3.1 and 3.1a to CFS3 and the 1.28 update for OFF.
