Hi,

I recently purchased a Thrustmaster Hotas X joystick. I plugged it into my computer and ran WC3. In the calibration screen I moved the stick around and the coordinates responded to my movements (there was no cursor in the calibration box though). However, in the game, my joystick movements were not registered at all. I did start a training mission and entered the ALT + O menu to change to joystick mode, saved and exited the menu but it still wouldn't work.

Any help? Thanks

Update: After starting the game again, now the arrow at the flight deck just after the intro videos is stuck at the top left side of the screen.

Hey there. As I remember from playing the game back on my old 486, the cursor sticking to the corner is typical of the joystick being improperly calibrated. I just bought the GOG version and have a Logitech Force 3D Pro which was a monster to get centered correctly since the center on feedback joysticks tend to be kind of sloppy. Now I'm off to continue my search of why the joystick works on the ship but not during missions.... :D
