1.  CALIBRATION

    Drifting or rolling is a term used in the joystick industry to denote
    a loss of control of your joystick input. An example of this would be
    in a flight simulator, where you would see the aircraft continually
    roll to the right or left. Proper calibration is important in
    preventing drift.

    Each game should have its own calibration routine. Some calibration
    routines will appear at the beginning of your game, while others
    require you to seek them out. Most calibration routines will have you
    move your stick to one corner, then to the opposite.


2.  DUAL PORT GAME CARD FOR WINGMAN EXTREME

    To get full function and proper range for the WingMan Extreme, you
    must connect it to a dual port game card. Do not get this confused
    with a two-connector or two-plug game card. A dual port game card is
    one that is designed to support two two-button joysticks, or one four
    button joystick through one connector. Typically, a single port game
    card would have a port labeled "A", while a dual port game card would
    have an "A" and a "B" port (even though there may be only one physical
    connector on the card).  Many dedicated speed adjustable game cards
    will have two physical connectors, and will still be a dual port
    interface.  The primary connector will access both "A" and "B" ports,
    while the secondary port will only access the "B" port.

    Note: You cannot have another joystick connected to the secondary port
    on this type of card without it effecting the function of WingMan
    Extreme on the Primary port.


3.  SPEED ADJUSTABLE GAME CARD

    What makes a speed adjustable game card better than a sound card game
    card, or one that came with the computer system?  Speed adjustable
    game cards are designed to vary the joystick signal so that the games
    can read the full joystick signal, and properly process the data. If
    you are using a high speed computer such as a 486 or Pentium, and are
    experiencing problems, you should use a speed adjustable game card.


4.  TROUBLESHOOTING, GENERAL TOPICS

4.1 Problem: After calibrating the joystick several times, it still does
    not work in any games.

    Solution: This is common when using a sound card game port or system
    game port on machines such as a 486 or Pentium, and even some of the
    faster 386's. This also can happen if there are two active game cards.
    The solution is to make sure there is only one active game card. If
    there is only one card active, you will need a dedicated, dual port,
    speed adjustable game card.

4.2 Problem: The joystick still drifts after it has been calibrated.

    Solution: There are a couple of possible explanations for the drift:

    - Multiple active game cards. Having more than one game card active in
      your computer. Disable the other game cards.
    
    - Head induced drift. This occurs when poor quality circuitry is used
      on a game card. The longer the computer runs, the more heat builds
      within the individual components. Often times, multi I/O game cards
      will suffer as a result of heat build up. The best way to avoid this
      problem is to use a dedicated game card which are usually designed
      to withstand heat induced drift problems.
    
    - Poor calibration routine. If you are using a quality game card and
      you still have drifting problems, try another game. This will help
      you determine if the problem is with one game or if it is consistent
      in all.

4.3 Problem: Identifying other game ports in the system.

    Solution: Any 15-pin connector on the back of your computer is another
    game port. If you have a second 15 pin female connector on your
    system, and you are using the joystick in a network environment, check
    with your MIS or system administrator to see if the second connector
    might be for a network interface card.


5.  TROUBLESHOOTING, WINGMAN EXTREME

5.1 Problem: Why does the four way view switch on my WingMan Extreme work
    intermittently, or does not work at all?

    Solution: This normally happens on faster machines, such as a 486 or
    Pentium, when the WingMan Extreme is plugged into a sound card's game
    port or the game port that came with the computer system. The solution
    is to use a dedicated dual port, speed adjustable game card.

5.2 Problem: Why is a "dual-port" game card needed for WingMan Extreme?

    Solution: Because the system receives data from WingMan Extreme as
    input from two separate joysticks.


6.  TROUBLESHOOTING, LOGITECH THUNDER PAD

6.1 Buttons C and D do not respond.

    Solution: There are two possible causes for this.

    - You may have two game ports active in the system.  Disable the
      second game port.  Refer to section 2 for a discussion of game port
      types.
    
    - Buttons C and D are read by the system as input from a second
      joystick.  If you are using a Y adapter to connect 2 joysticks to
      the same port, the two primary button signals from the second
      joystick will be read by the system instead of buttons C and D.


7.  TROUBLESHOOTING, SPECIFIC GAMES

7.1 Problem: Configuring the WingMan Extreme in MicroProse's F15 Strike
    Eagle III.

    Solution: Select "ThrustMaster" from the Hardware options in the
    install menu or the Control menu in the game.

7.2 Problem: Configuring the WingMan Extreme in Microsoft's Flight
    Simulator 5.

    Solution: Bring up the game's preferences menu and select Aileron and
    Elevator for "Joystick One".

7.3 Problem: WingMan Extreme's four way view switch does not respond in
    Dynamix's Aces Over the Pacific, and Aces Over Europe.

    Solution: Select "ThrustMaster" for flight under the Preferences menu
    then calibrate WingMan Extreme.

7.4 Problem: How to calibrate WingMan in Dynamix's Aces Over the Pacific,
    or Aces Over Europe.

    Solution: The game requests that you center the joystick and press a
    button. If you press the fire button at the end of calibration, the
    last trigger press will act as two trigger presses, and start the
    calibration over again. Instead of using the trigger button, use the
    top button.

7.5 Problem: How to calibrate WingMan in Lucas Art's Battle Hawk 1942.

    Solution: At the beginning of calibration, the program requests that
    you move the joystick to the upper left hand corner and press a
    button. If you press the trigger button, it will skip the next step in
    the calibration routine. Instead of using the trigger button, use the
    top button.
