I'm terribly sorry to bring this up again, from what I've seen this problem has been discussed already. However, at that time not in the slightest being interested in analog joysticks I just rushed through these articles with the 'd' key... Now, I have seen an analog joystick with a flight sim on a ms-dos machine and I couldn't believe it. I must have such a thing to use with Falcon!! Is there a way to connect such a thing to the Amiga? -- ------------------------------------ Chris Brand - wizard@sosaria.imp.com "Justice is the possession and doing of what one is entitled to" - Platon ------------------------------------

All you need is a DB-9 female,a DB-15 female, two .22uf tantalum caps, and 7 pieces of wire. And last and most importantly, you'll need some software to use it with. As far as I now, Falcon doesn't support analog joysticks, old versions of Jet and Flight Simulator II *do* support analog joysticks, Air Warrior (Genie) does, SpaceSpuds (X-Specs) does. For now, that's it (that I know of, hopefully there are others). Perhaps if you write to Spectrum Holobyte, they'll add support, as it's extremely easy to do. John
