Hello Arnt, I figured that the original sidewinder-precision-pro.xml had been set up with that name entry for a good reason and that's why I was looking into getting around it by pulling in the config I needed via .fgfsrc, and not by changing any of the release files, at least until we knew what was going on. The actual name of the config file isn't important, at least to me, as long as I know what it is, but the name entries must have those exact values for the matches to be made and for both types of joystick to be recognised. I haven't got a joystick that identifies itself with a "Microsoft SideWinder Precision 2 Joystick" string but presumably someone has and that's why it's been set up like that, and presumably, it's also got "SideWinder Precision Pro" on the box and painted or stamped on it somewhere, like mine. At a guess, prehaps the model identification string may have changed over time but not the model name, or even perhaps anything else - my one seems to work ok with the original file after just changing the name string.
