Mechwarrior 3 Pirates Moon on Windows 2000.. Throttle proble

[Bruzer79 0]

Ok.. Im a bit confused ,

 

All I see here on this site ( which is very helpful btw... ) tells me that Pirates Moon works on Win2k, along with the Joystick I own (Cyborg 3d). But when I run Mech3 Pirates Moon, everything works except my throttle. Any Clue?? ( By the way, I dont have the USB version of the stick )

Could be the DX7 problem with input, similar to the sticky keys senario. Maybe DX8 will help it??
