Does the 3dfx test support a joystick? I can't get mine to work. Is
there a key that I have to press inorder to get it working?

My Sidewinder 3D worked like a charm.
Check in your system properties if it has detected that you have an joystick
installed, if not tell it to install one. I would guess that DX5 doesn't
automatically find joysticks that aren't installed to the actual OS.

Just a guess though.

Thanks... the problem was that WCP didnt like the rudder peddels being
enabled... once I disabled them, the joystick worked fine.

Speaking of joysticks, does anyone else think the test is a little bit
too sensitive?
