FMS beta 7 "hick-ups" ? - Program "hangs" for a moment every

[gliderbee]

Hi,

FMS runs fine on my PC, except that about every 5 seconds, the program stops for a fraction of a second, then goes on. It doesn't stop me from flying, but it's quite disturbing. Any idea what can be done ? Running Win98 with RealFlight G2 transmitter-joystick.

Thanks,
Stefan.

I found where the problem must be and it's not the graphics: it's the joystick (the Realflight G2 controller). I tried the RX-parallel port interface a friend made, and everything worked perfectly.

Any idea what I can do about it re: joystick ?

Thanks,
Stefan.

To make sure its the G2 controller, try using a standard joystick and see what happens.

If it's ok then the problem is the G2.

If it is still broke the problem is with the joystick input or something is interfering with the joystick input.
