	Well I finally managed to obtain an Apple II analog joystick.  I
examined the schematics of an analog joystick (this was really hard to find out)
for the Apple II then compared it to the Amiga's analog joystick as described
in the Hardware Reference Manual.  They were virtually the same except for the
fire buttons.  I therefore managed a conversion without even opening the joystick
casing  Then came the exciting part.  I turned on Flight Simulator 1.1.  Press
'J' to put it in analog joystick mode and nothing. Up Down Left Right   Nothing.
Then I pushed the fire button down and moved the joystick Down and the planes
throttle started gliding up, I moved the joystick up and the throttle went
down.  That is all I was able to do.  Does anyone out there know how to make
an analog joystick that works with Flight sim 1.1?  Don't bother asking Sublogic
because even though they made the software and the joystick to test the software
they suddenly seemed to have forgotten how to make a joystick.  I talked to 
one of their representatives.  He described the fact that a technician, who is
no longer with them, made a analog joystick out of a Kraft analog joystick 
designed for the Apple II.  


Help, anyone
