Hi Tony,
the cause for the CTD, when no joystick is plugged is related to the "force feedback = 1" entry.
"=1" is default, but it should be "=0". So the user without joystick much edit this entry and set it to "=0".
For the new exe i changed the default to "=0", then we shouldnt encounter problems.

Greetings,
Knegel
