MS Sidewinder Precision Pro 2...HELP

[smink1701]

For some reason CLoD will not recognize my MS Sidewinder Precision Pro 2. It has been working fine since day 1 and thru all the updates including the recent official patch. Also, when I start a SP mission there are windows open I need to close. Very strange. Joystick works normally with FSX and ROF so I know it’s a problem with CLoD. Anyone else having this problem? Would welcome some help since now the game is really unplayable.

Thanks
