I used to have a Logitech Wingman Extreme Digital, but I returned it since
it almost drove me crazy with it's erratic movements. Sometimes when in
calibration in Win95, I moved the stick for example just slightly to the
left, and that returned in a very huge movement to the right!?!? And so
on...

I posted in this newsgroup then, and found out that I certainly wasn't alone
with these kind of problems...

Now I have an optical driven MS Sidewinder Force Feedback, and all my
joystick problems are gone.

But your problem is only within F15? How about other games?

I'm having trouble also since I installed Win98. Any advice?

Well, then it appears to be a Wingman <-> Win98 problem.

I figure you've already checked the Logitech and the MS site for a solution?

I wrote to logitech and they said to me to download les 2.2 if you have not
and to install them and the joystick.
In f 15 go in joystick calibration, in option /game control and click on
the joy icon and set in yaw prerences 10=0 and 90= 0
That help me
bye

I got the Logitech Extreme and my friend has got the CH F16 stick, but we
don't have any trouble with F15. I just calibrated mine in Windows too and
in F15 I only went to Options, Controls and then I clicked the Joystick
button and after that Accept. Nothing else... And it worked.
Maybe you should try NOT to calibrate it in F15 and only "tell" the game
there is a joystick. Nothing further...

And about that CH F16. I think you can better contact my friend about that:
b...@j-verburg.demon.nl . I'll hear from you (guys), but please contact me by
e-mail and not by newsgroup.

Good luck!
