Despite calibrating the joystick, when entering flight mode my craft spins arround at high speed. This will kill your wingman in the hangar before the beginning of any mission. I managed to play the game with a mouse - somehow compensation for the spin - and without a wingman for a few mission. But soon you need the wingman and the missions will fail. Sadly, I played this game once a year till I upgraded to MacOS X and loved it.
