Saitek Cyborg 3D does throttle/rudder work ootb?

Greetings!

I'm a fresh owner of a Saitek Cyborg 3D Gold USB and I'd like to ask
any flightsim fans owning such a piece of hardware - what did you have
to configure to use the 'twist handle' rudder&throttle?

The stick itself seems to be properly configured in Windows XP - all
the necessary drivers were provided and everything shows up on the
Control Panel joystick test applet (slide bars react to rudder and
throttle movement).

The problem is that throttle/rudder isn't recognized in games:
- Flanker 2.51 - ignores rudder & throttle,
- MS Flightsim'98 - ditto,
- Lock On (retail) - ignores rudder, throttle works fine.

Everything else (stick, buttons, POV hat) works OK.
Does throttle/rudder has to be reconfigured in any way or should it
work out-of-the-box? Any suggestions greatly appreciated

System: Xp, DX9.0b.

Hi,

i have xp and bought a cyborg gold as well. I found that the software
provided does not fully support xp and so failed on installation.
On boot up, the joystick is not found. I have downloaded the latest
driver from saitek but have not got round to loading it yet...
anyway, what i do is start the w/stn and when you get to the desktop,
unplug the joystick from the usb port....wait a couple.....then plug
it back in. You will hear the found new hardware sound and it works
great.
I use it with MS combat flight and sturmovik.

Try the download

Cheers
