Hi All
Some of the "flight simmers" out there may not knw about Sierra/Dynamix being bought by a French company Havas or something. They decided to kill of the Flight Sim dept. and all flight sim (RB, Desert Fighters and ProPilot) support has almost died a silent death. The RB community has started their own forum in reaction to this and most of the hardcore RB pilots can be found there.
Try this URL http://simcombat.com/LoneWulffe/rbfo...r /> <br /> It is quite an active forum and thes guys should be able to answer almost all of your RB2/3D questions.

Vic,

There's one tech question I've been meaning to ask. Does RB3D support a USB joystick? I have an MS Sidewinder USB, for my laptop. I'm pretty sure the game has to have at least DirectX6, and be W98 compatible to use USB. I haven't been able to get FC Gold to recognize it, and have hesitated buying RB3D until I know for sure. If you, or Al, can't answer this here, I guess I'll have to go post it on that site.
