TITLE:  Windows 95 Joystick Calibration Issue
 
 
SUMMARY 
 
   The four-way view "tophat" switch on Logitech's Wingman Extreme 
   joystick may not appear to perform correctly during calibration 
   in the Control Panel under Windows 95, although the switch 
   operates properly in game play.  
   
   This issue affects all Advantage! 7000 series systems.    
 
 
NOTES 
 
   The four-way view "tophat" switch on Logitech's Wingman Extreme 
   joystick may not appear to perform correctly during calibration 
   in the Control Panel under Windows 95, although the switch 
   operates properly in game play.  
   
   This normally happens on faster systems, such as a Pentium, when 
   the joystick is plugged into a sound card's game port or the game 
   port that came with the computer system. On these machines, the 
   joystick routine in the calibration software may not read the 
   joystick signal properly, resulting in a timing problem. 
   
   This appears to be more of a cosmetic issue since it does not 
   affect the proper operation of the joystick in game play.
   
   To obtain full functionality and proper range during the Windows 
   95 calibration process, some joystick manufacturers recommend 
   using a dedicated, dual port, speed adjustable game card.
