- This joystick is for sale at my E-bay store www.ebay.com/usr/thewonderyearstoys
Tested good with no issues, automatically set up drivers and began playing game within a couple of minutes.
Mine worked for 20 years. I had to replace it in 2018. The trigger was the only thing that broke. I couldn't figure out what was wrong to resolder so I got a new one off eBay. I also recently picked up a Force Feedback version too just for fun.
been using the sidewinder Joystick and it works great. mostly in MMO's like STO.
did you convert the thing into USB? If so what adapter did you use?
@@Purzify no adapter it was straight USB. just plugged it in and off it went.
I have the exact same joystick, but it doesn't get detected at all :(
Hi, can I have the software and drivers link please? I can't find it!
For me trying different usb slots (maybe even different computer for me) worked for me. I've read somewhere that it's just "plug and pray".. :D
@@GR1338 No it doesn't. I think its either something to do with the joystick being really old, or there is some driver related problem, idk
Maybe also check the USB cable. I had 2 joysticks and one of them had a nearly broken cable in the Joystick itself. It helped, moving the cable 90degrees away from the housing. Just Plug it in the Computer and move it around until you hear the "device connected" sound
I picked up this used Sidewinder Joystick for $10 in Tokyo on 12/27/2021 online at a community page / bulletin board to buy used stuff. It was working within 5 minutes of experimenting with several USB ports. I bought it to play Dragon's Lair, which is a game from 1983, if you can believe that. I'm using it now and it works fine. Only 1 out of 6 ports works. It's a Windows 10 box. Good luck with fixing your joystick. My experience is that it's totally plug and play, or PnP. No drivers to speak of. Good luck.
I had the model without forceback and it was great, I got to play the rogue squad star wars, and another game which the mechwarrior 3 loved was a joy, using the keyboard and joystick combination, all the products that Microsoft released in those times were very good, I am currently behind a swfb2, to play elite dangerous, this last one I played with a hotas but they stole it from me
i have that one, however if i try to use it to play microsoft flight simulator it doesnt work. it only shows the name on the game but no buttons or anything. Do you know what is up with it. i havent installed anything
Wait so FF features work on Elite Dangerous?? what do you mean they stole it from you?
Lock-On
I dont know if the one that I have here is working, it was supose to be plugnplay? I connected it on usb but doest nothing.
how to find the driver for windows 10 ?
which Sidewinder ? 3D Pro eith FFB on win10?
Hello, I got one joystick exactly as yours and I'm doing the conversion to usb with a commercial connector. Unfortunately I connect the joystick to the PC (using Windows10) and does not even recognize that anything is connected. How did you make it?
Thank you in advance.
hello I have the same problem
Do you have a solution?
This a already usb version of joystick...
I have the same problem
Game name?
I have the Sidewinder 1.0 model from '98, any advice on how to make that work? I have a driver disc/game combo, but only the game actually functions...
If it has USB connector the joystick should work with a newer pc.
Does it work for airplane games that were made in 2020?
well where in the fuck do you get the software this is crazy all these videos and nobody has a link or an upload of it anywhere!!
I have the physical CD for this sim and just showed a clip for the purpose of selling the joystick on my online sales booth for toys/collectibles. I have a few older Janes simulation games but my pc does not run those for some reason.
will this same joystick work on microsoft flight sim 20
i'll find out in a couple of days. just ordered one for 2 euros lol
@@vulgarius876 does it work
@@jermink mine isn't the usb version, so I'm unable to try it for now. waiting on a gameport to usb adapter to arrive.
@@Tim__ no, don't waste your time.
@@vulgarius876 thank you I was about to buy it for MSF2020 to save moneyy
Hello, I just gave one and I don't know what to play to downloa
You should download DCS World, it's free for a basic plane and you can buy other aircraft if you want to upgrade.
@@thewonderyearstoys1047 Hello, I thank you very much for the information,I wish you the best for your channel and to that of course, greetings from Colombia
@@juanlara3153 Thank you , you are welcome!
How did you plug it in
how do you set it up?
This joystick is simply plug and play via USB connection. You might have to do some calibrating which is not hard at all.
what game is they tell me
I've got the same one , only I'll use it for games like GTA SA , GTA III and GTA V .
Can I have the drivers link please?
Hi!! Can you pass me the link for this software and drivers?
My Windows 10 system detected the drivers automatically but I am sure a Google search can find the drivers if your system does not detect them automatically.
@@thewonderyearstoys1047 Oh, I have searched it lately but nothing... I'll try the auto detection, thank you very much!
I have one, windows 10 detected it but in the sim (IL2 1946) i cant assign the commands. Do you have any tip?
Not sure with that game, sometimes it works with one game and not another. Hard to figure out why with these computers and the software involved. I have been lucky so far with only some of my old games/sims.
Does this joystick have yaw axis and can you rotate the stick for rudder control?
Yes it does, twist action on yaw axis.
I cant make mine be recognized by windows
Does it work in war thunder?
I have not tried it on War Thunder but it is a usb connected device so should work okay.
whats the name of the software for testing the joystick?
It's a simulator called Lock-On.
does it have rudder?
Yes, the stick moves in the yaw axis (twist action).
Is it a usb connection. Or not
yeah it is i have one
Yes it is
Does it work on MFS?
I used it on the older MS simulator , not the newest release.
does it have yaw control?
Yes, twist handle on control stick
@@thewonderyearstoys1047 just bought one. 😉
@@RetroAmateur1989 Enjoy it!
