Just got my friends joystick..........my one has gone in the bin! What are the chances of having exactly the same hardware issue with 2 joysticks?! Quite high it would seem!!! I'm now on the lookout for a new joystick when I'm back in the UK in a few weeks. Thanks all for your help and advice, alway...
Hopefully, now I've found someone with a joystick, I can rule out it being a software problem! Just thought it was unlikely to have been the same hardware problem twice, but then it is an identical one so I suppose if it's a common fault it may not be that unlikely!
Alas the inverted abuse has not solved it! No multimeter either. :doh: I've managed to find a friend here who is a 'closet-simmer' so I will hopefully try his joystick tomorrow and find out if it's a hardware or software issue. Fingers crossed its a simple solution! It's getting me very frustrated!!...
Unfortunately there is no one I can borrow off........I live in Qatar, which may as well be the moon! No one around here that I know of that has a joystick
