Thanks for that.

I guess those servers where the prefix seems to work must have a host app running with that same prefix.

Would have been nice to be able to configure the prefix for a client app too. Would have allowed for cleaner looking messages to control it. Oh well...

I'm writing a client app using InSim.NET.

I initialise InSim using the IS_ISI with a prefix. When I type a message using this prefix, the IS_MSO packet's user type is MSO_PREFIX as expected on some servers, while on others, it's MSO_USER.

Is there some sort of setting on hosts that disables the prefix? If not, why am I seeing different behaviours?

Here's how I used to do this:

press the calibrate button while the joystick is in center position, and pull it back all the way through, and return it to center. This should map the center-to-bottom travel as 0-100% for that axis. Then lock the axes.

Hope that helps.

Hi.

I just did a reinstall of XP. When I went to play S2, I saw that I had to unlock it first.

Now, I had 2 unlocks so that wasn't a problem but my question is, why did I had to unlock in the first place?

I bring my HDD back and forth between two computers for a couple of times during a year and I never had to do this before. In fact, I did this recently during the Christmas time, and I didn't had to unlock it on the other computer.

It's just a bit confusing is all.
