SYMPTOMS
========

When you use, test, or calibrate the CH Virtual Pilot Pro joystick or the CH
F-16 Combatstick joystick in one of the Microsoft programs listed above, some
joystick buttons or features may not function properly.

Combatstick require an updated driver to provide joystick features to games that
are not designed specifically for these devices.

==========

Virtual Pilot Pro driver or the F-16 Combatstick driver for Windows 95 from the
following CH Products Web site:
