Hello Team,

During the past month, I have try to get functional a MS Sidewinder Force Feedback Pro (FFP) with midi port on Win 10 with X-Wing Alliance, as I was using it before 1998 with Win 98 !!

And I succeeded !!!

First, I use the excellent adapt-ffb-joy hard and soft adapter for translating the MIDI port to USB port : Force feedback, sitck and buttons were
functional but gas slider was not OK.

During my search, I understand that this adapter use "throttle" HID USB definition instead of "Rudder" HID USB. So, I have modified the source code in order to have the gas slider functional.

I can email the new source code.

Now, I can play to this fabulous game with a force feedback joystick.
