WCP rudder reversal

[Lord QDaan]

I recently purchased a Microsoft Sidewinder Precision 2 joystick and have reinstalled WCP. Everything works just fine, except for the rudder. Oh, that works, yes, but the axis is inverted. I turn the stick right, the ship spins counterclockwise. I turn it left, the ship spins clockwise. I thought of just recalibrating the stick to believe I am turning it the opposite direction, but wait! It's so good, calibration software isn't needed. I ask you, what point is there to include software that test to see if something works if you can't fix it? There is no option ingame that I am aware of that will solve this problem; I have tried checking and unchecking just about everything in the game controllers section. If there is some patch to download or a file I can edit, I'm all ears.

WCP's joystick calibration is determined by the Windows calibration program. Have you tried the reverse rudder checkbox in the option screen?

I've seached thouroughly, but I really have no idea where such an option might be. Are you familiar with the specialized software used with the precision 2? If so, I would love to hear how I've managed to miss said option.

I think you confuse WCP and WCSO. The latter has the checkbox, WCP doesn't.

Go to Start. Settings, Game Controllers. Click on the joystick, then click Properties. Look around the new window. There should be a thing or another trhat lets you reverse the axes. You can also go to microsoft.com, go to downloads, find the product, and search for any relevant downloads.
