Yeah, I noticed that the 7.x beta screwed up my Joystick. I have an old Thrustmaster TQS and F22. But, I have the Digital upgrade chips from stickworks.com. Works great as a 32 button JS now, but XPlane doesn't see all the buttons for some reason. I LOVE the new affects and graphics that 7.x has, but if my JS doesn't work with it, whats the point :-D Joe On Wed, 2003-09-03 at 00:26, Matt Bailey wrote: > Well, I've got the old retail 5.x CD, I mainly use 5.66.
