Jane's Longbow 2 Joystick Issue

Hi All,
Just took this one out of mothballs and I have it running but I have the
strangest problem, well at least I think it is. I have a MicroSoft
Sidewinder Force Feedback 2 and the sim won't go above 85% in engine torque.
I've tried everything I can think of to no avail. Anybody else ever have
this problem and what did you do?
Thanks and Check Six.
Gary

Do you have other sticks/pedals or wheels installed on your system?
If so, remove them.

Thanks that did the trick. I hardly ever use that game pad anyway. Now I
can fly a good helo sim and not settle for RazorWorks. Only wish I had
tried reducing the memory sooner then I wouldn't of wasted my money. Now I
wish some programming genius could come up with a way to make it go with 2
gig so we wouldn't have to restart, but hey I CAN FLY IT. WOOHOO.

If you don't care about flying the Kiowa, then it'll work fine with two Gigs
without adjusting your memory permanently.
There's plenty of info here -> http://www.speichts.com/games/lb2/index.htm
