| 302463 | 2004-12-12 04:08:00 | Hi I purchased a MS Sidewinder Force Feedback Pro Joystick from Trademe, it is working but I have one problem. When not using it, with power cord plugged in, the handle is completely loose, not springly at all, which means if i move the handle to a certain position it stays there, is this normal? Also in Flight Sims 2002 and Combat Flight Sims 3 the handle is loose as well, but when I use it in GTA Vice City it works great, handle becomes springy and stick is like normal. How do I fix this problem? I have XP and the joystick is Gameport Connection. Thanks for any help. |

| 302465 | 2004-12-12 22:43:00 | The joystick seems to work without the power cord plugged and just the game port plugged in, but in GTA Vice City if I remembered correctly it becomes normal when in use, even without power cord. | Turbulence_100 (6531) | ||

| 302467 | 2004-12-13 03:58:00 | Hi metla, the joystick with power cord plugged in works perfectly in GTA VC, but remain limp in Combat Flight Sims 3 and FS 2002, how do I fix this? Thanks | Turbulence_100 (6531) | ||
