Russ, I'm a little confused by some of the instructions.

Took this section out of the whole set of instructions:

"0 "C:\rowan\mig"
1 "C:\rowan\mig"
2 "C:\rowan\mig"
3 "C:\rowan\mig"

4 0 .
5 1 .
6 2 .

7 0 .
8 1 .
9 2 artwork"

So, Am I to copy/modify existing stuff already there exactly as written in the set of instructions? I know this sounds a bit dense of me, but just asking.

FWIW, joystick does not appear to be using Logitech drivers; documentation on computer says that drivers are those provided by Microsoft. IOW, no mention of Logitech drivers for joystick(s).

Thanks so much for all your help!

OK, edited "Root" folder exactly as suggested in the above instructions. In fact, did everything the instructions did, to the letter, except I cannot find patch "BDG Migalley v.0.85f, and so could not install it. Can anyone help with finding that patch, or send me a direct link to it?

ETA: I found the "v.0.85F" patch using wayback machine and a mediafire URL. Here is a link:
https://web.archive.org/web/2018081...e/i0d3bo25slj73wu/BDG_MiGAlley_0.85F.rar

V1.23 patch can be obtained on File Planet, after search for "Mig Alley" Link here: https://www.fileplanet.com/41164/40000/fileinfo/Mig-Alley-v1.23.

I now have a copy, and will install it later on. My initial mistake might have been installing first OEM patch (V1.02?), then v1.23 patch. If installing the v.0.85F patch fails to enable joystick, I'll copy certain files, uninstall, and then re-install using the exact procedure contained in your instructions.

Very close at this point; can sort of fly the game using the mouse, but it's tricky. Wish me luck!

Final ETA: Success! Adding V.0.85 did the trick! Had to jigger with in-game joystick settings to get it to work properly, but the plane is flyable and controllable. Even made a landing, but over-ran runway and crashed.

I have cross-linked this thread to the other thread, linked above, and added some relevant links to it: http://SimHQ.com/forum/ubbthreads.p...nstall-problems-win-7-64-bit#Post4434141

Thanks for all the help! Much obliged!
