Yes MM I had no problems getting everything to work following splinters' and your info in this thread. The trueball plugin worked off the bat. Not fully but enough to know it would work as it was talking to the device and after installing the 3rd party drivers everything works and very nice indeed Wait wait wait :) yes the device shows up under the 3rd party drivers as a Windows game controller of course... good point thanks! so I can use it in Company of Heroes to whizz around the DX10 battlefield. Sweet :) Not sure if I want to use it to fly a (virtual) Spitfire mind. But the Space Shuttle hmmm :) Peter Post by ProfessorKhaos // Jul 10, 2007, 3:08am ProfessorKhaos Total Posts: 622 Hmmm... this is sounding more and more interesting. Can't remember if I got around to answering the poll or not but it would be falling less and less into the last category and more into a 5th one of "I plan to purchase one". I have a few other apps that may benefit as well such as Poser 7. Was a bit skeptical at first since I've tried various devices like trackballs and the like in place of a mouse only to find the mouse was easier. I think I can see the benefit to modelling with this one though.

But sadly no movement of the scene. Any ideas??????

Now install the 3rd party drivers as in some posts above ^ Peter Post by MadMouse // Jul 10, 2007, 1:08pm MadMouse Total Posts: 1069 Now install the 3rd party drivers as in some posts above 3rd party driver was already install????? or am I not understanding you properly Peter??? Post by weaveribm // Jul 11, 2007, 1:00am weaveribm Total Posts: 592 Some confusion yes sorry MM! 3rd party driver was already install ...but no movement of the viewpoint - I think you are asking? does indeed switch to wireframe when I move the SN. But sadly no movement of the scene Is the SN showing as a Game Controller in Windows? Peter Post by MadMouse // Jul 11, 2007, 9:08am MadMouse Total Posts: 1069 In game controllers in windows control pannel it shows up as 'RBC9 SpaceNavigator MouJoyKey v2' is that what you mean Peter? Post by weaveribm // Jul 11, 2007, 11:36am weaveribm Total Posts: 592 I think so yes MM. The SN started working properly in TS when that device driver showed up But this is on Vista. I'm not sure if SN works in TS in XP I'll check soon from dual boot Peter
