joystick bug in 18? maybe?

Sep 03, 2003 Spellcast link
I use a logitech wingman attack 2 usb port joystick, about 1 out of every 4 times i go to sector 18 it locks up and vendetta stops recognizing it, if i am in a turn, it continues to turn/roll etc. If i go into the control settings and turn the joystick off the roll/turn stops.If i change the x or y axis to something other than pitch/turn, the turn stops, and the new function starts. if i shut vendetta down and restart it the joystick works fine. it only seems to happen in sector 18. this is the wierdest thing, since the joystick works well in several other games, and I've never had it lock up anywhere EXCEPT sector 18 in vendetta.

any thoughts?
don't know if this counts as a bug but since it's happened about 6 times i figured I'd report it. I've also submitted it on the bug report form.

When this happens (if you're in Windows), can you look at a file in the Vendetta directory called dinput.log and post what is in there?
It should log all times the joystick becomes disconnected or otherwise loses its link with directinput.

OK. Will do Ray. I am in windows so when i get home (i'm at work right now) I'll post the file to you via the bug reporter.
any idea why it only happens to me in 18? lol or is it just my bad luck and the love the bots there have for my cargo? :P
