@doh123 - you must have a small list of apps so affected? (8
I've tried several games, though I never kept a list... and have of course only tried USB joysticks. One I remember was the Vegastrike engine along with many mods. While I know these also have native versions, there was some severe graphical issues at one time and the Windows version under Wine was running much better, but the joystick could not function, even though the native build it worked fine.
Another I do have that other people have complained to me that it doesn't work... is Red Baron 3D...
I did see someone claim their Sidewinder 3D worked without force feedback in Microsoft Flight Sim X though.
I really don't play any joystick games, but I have had people complain about Wineskin not using their joysticks (with 100% unaltered Wine source), but I never asked for specific games to make a list since I had never seen anyone (until FlightSim recently) ever claim to get one to work in anything.
If you can find even a few games where it does work ok, thats at least a starting point to see if there are still any issues.
