I got a Microsoft's Sidewinder wheel (w/ Force Feedback, serial - not USB) and windows 2000 pro. the wheel has 3 axis (gas/brake/wheel). in windows 2000 the default is split axis (in 98 it was combined by default). my sidewinder software is old (versions 2 and 3) and doesn't support windows 2000/XP.

the problem is that not all the games support split axis (=\) and I can't set it to combinned axis. after talking in many forums I've been told to get sidewinder software version 4, but I can't find any place to download it from. so if anybody got the software if you could send it me it'll be appreciated, or if you have any other ideas.

Windows XP compatibility for SideWinder game port devices

This section applies to you if you own one of the following SideWinder game port devices:

SideWinder Force Feedback Pro

SideWinder Precision Pro

SideWinder Force Feedback Wheel (game port version only)

SideWinder Game Pad

SideWinder 3D Pro

The SideWinder software (version 3.02) included with these SideWinder game port devices is designed to work with Microsoft Windows 95 or Windows 98. If you have Windows 2000 or Windows XP, the operating system includes device drivers for these game controllers listed above, so the device will function properly on both Windows 2000 and Windows XP. However, the accompanying SideWinder software (version 3.02 or any previous version) will not function, so you will not be able to create profiles for these devices using the SideWinder software on Windows 2000 or Windows XP. Microsoft is not planning to update the SideWinder software (version 3.02) for game port devices.

Die Microsoft Die!
