William, the information outlined below is what we plan to carry forward for the near-term future releases. This is what is support in 3.62, and 3.65. If you need more detailed information please send me a mail.

Aidan,
The excerpt from the FAQ doesn't specify the driver releases. Will pedal support carry through to v3.62 and/or any future releases?

Here is the extract from our FAQ that describes rudder support (http://www.wingmanteam.com/FAQ/faq.htm )

---------------------------------------------

Compatibility with 3rd Party Devices
Support For External Analog Rudder Controllers

Support for external analog rudder controllers is limited to the following configurations :-

OS Type :-

Windows 98

Windows 98se

Windows Me

Devices :-

WingMan Force

WingMan Interceptor

WingMan Extreme Digital

WingMan Extreme Digital 3D (gameport connection only)

When running under Win98 or WinMe these devices have a checkbox in the control panel that allows use of external analog rudder controls. When this checkbox is selected the driver will read data from the external rudder control and report this rudder position data to the game.

This function is not supported under Win2000. This function is not supported for the newer WingMan USB joysticks that have a built in "twist"/"rudder" functionality. These devices include WingMan Extreme Digital 3D (when connected to USB port), WingMan Force 3D and WingMan Strike Force 3D.



Support For External USB Rudder Controllers

There is no support in WingMan software for use of external USB rudder controllers. However, it is possible to use a WingMan joystick in conjunction with external USB rudder controllers if the game supports multiple input controllers. Many of the newer flight games (e.g. FS2000) have the ability to read from multiple controllers, and it is expected that most games in the future will support this capability.

Will the Wingman Force work with these? I have heard the gameport model works fine with WF but the USB I am unsure.Running WinME.
