Joystick not functioning in 1.72 ?

Post by Commander Burton »

Hi.

My joystick works fine in 1.65 but in 1.72 the option is there for 'Joystick Configuration' but is greyed out and can not be used.

Is there a remedy for this please ??
Yours,

Can you give us some additional info please?

Operating system, exact version of Oolite (e.g. is it 1.72.2) and make and model of joystick, maybe a copy of your Latest.log as well...

Thanks for the response.

To help anyone else who may have this problem it was as simple as this...

Ensure that your joystick is selected as a 'pref device' in control panel.

All is fine now.

How silly of me. :shock:
