Been trying out the
X-Plane simulator and I must say it's much better then MS Flight Simulator X
I am using a 13 year old Microsoft Sidewinder 2 Precision joystick and realized it's so hard to find the windows driver for this thing. Microsoft even does not have it on their support pages which frankly does not surprise me.
Lucky I found mine in the shoe box covered in dust!
So for anyone that still has one of these gems,
here is the driver in ISO format ready to burn to CD
