I have resisted trying to get the old girl working on Win7 for fear that I will run into the same issues as described...still...it has worked for others, I guess. My CHPro Rudders just went Tango Uniform, (bad pots?) which will make helo flying problematic as I was so used to using them for tail rotor control.
I guess I can plug my Cougar+Pedals back into the XP machine where LB2 is running well to try it out before Facing the Music and Dancing on Win7
Had great hopes that Flexman's Combat Helo would revive the glory days of LB2 for modern machines and networks.
I will have a lot of time off over the Christmas/New Years break, so maybe I will pick up my lance, mount Rocinante and Tilt at the LB2 rotary wing windmill!!
