Hi all,

I've had afp for sometime now and never had any problems using the game commander control box with xp pro. I recently installed a newer version of xp pro but in doing so, I can no longer get the game commander to work, the computer simply doesn't see it.. I've checked all connections etc etc, but to no avail..

any ideas???

thanks in advance

Do you have the patch installed?

You must go into the control panel under joysticks and calibrate it there too.

See if this helps.

yepp, have the patch installed, but when I go to the controller bit in the control panel, it doesn't appear to be there... only my cyborg 3d joystick.... I can use that to control afp, but not as realistic as the game commander...

I have checked and double checked the connections etc and they all seem to be in order..

Is your joystick connection on the audio card?

If so this an XP issue for that card. Can you update that card with latest drivers?

s2gulf

The cyborg 3d is a usb connection, I'll double check the rest when I get home...

many thanks for the advice

So are you using a USB to 15 pin for the Commander?

s2gulf

No, just using the 15 pin plug straight into the game port (I think)..

Can now manage to get the throttle and ailerons to work, but not elevator, rudder or button...

I think I just need to play around with the settings in the control panel..

Follow these directions.

However call it "Commander" then Simblaster.

many thanks
