SYMPTOMS
========
When you click a menu or change aircraft in Flight Simulator 98 or Flight
Simulator 2000, your Microsoft SideWinder 3D Pro joystick may stop responding.
CAUSE
=====
This behavior can occur if both of the following conditions are true:
- Your SideWinder 3D Pro joystick is connected to a Microsoft SideWinder game
pad that is connected to the game port on your computer.
- You are running Flight Simulator on a Microsoft Windows NT 4.0-based
computer. Windows NT 4.0 does not support digital game controllers such as
the SideWinder game pad.
RESOLUTION
==========
To resolve this issue, connect the SideWinder 3D Pro joystick directly to the
game port on your Windows NT 4.0-based computer.
