Re: sidewinder

The Sidewinder Precision 2 works with native Vista drivers.
I do not know about the other versions of the Sidewinder joysticks.

Re: sidewinder

As I said I did use the original sidewinder force feedback wheel but not all
features work and you would use vista's native drivers as they stopped
producing this wheel about 5yrs ago....I found it to be quite flaky so I
upgraded to a new wheel

I had problems using this with most programs back in XP, so I imagine
Vista is going to see some issues, if it even works at all.
