I have the Monster Sound card and I get a Not Connected message.

This has been fixed with the Version 4 Drivers.

Does the Assassin 3D Or Panther XL work with the new PCI A3D Cards?

Yes, if you have the latest Version 4 Drivers.

Does the Assassin 3D or Panther work with the Microsoft Precision Pro?

No, The Assassin 3D and Panther both require an analog Joystick. Since this joystick does not have any analog output it will not work with the A3D Digital Technology.

Will the Assassin 3D work on my Linux system ?

Yes, with many thanks to Vojtech Pavlik who says,,, the joystick-1.2.8 package that was released by me a couple days ago has full A3D device support. You can get it at:
ftp://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz
/pub/linux/joystick/ Or read about it at: http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz

Will the Assassin 3D work on my NT 4.0 system ?

Not at the present time, NT 4 and 5 have some Direct Input support but does not come with a default Joystick applett. When Microsoft makes a Joystick applett we will modify our Direct Input drivers to allow the FPgaming Technology products to function. Please contact Developer Relations if you would be interested in writing a Joystick Applett for Windows NT 5.

I'm getting a message that says my joystick is not connected correctly, What can I do ?

Does the Assassin 3D work with driving/flying simulators and other Direct Input Games ?

The A3D will work with any Direct Input game. However, we have found that most game manufacturers either don't think that the extra axes are important or just don't know to add them to the games configuration menus.

If the game you want to try is not on the Supported Games List you can try setting it up by assigning commands to Axes 5 (left/right) and Axes 6 (Down/Up) Usually you will need to make these controls relative (if offered) and the Axes 6 reversed. If you do not have a Throttle or Rudder you can usually assign commands to those and the Trackball will simulate the actions.

I have no joystick icon.

If you have installed DirectX 5 your Joystick will now be called Game Controllers.
Check out the Calibrating your Joystick page for more details and solutions.

After several minutes of play on whatever game (I tried both Quake and Descent 2), the Assassin 3D would stop working and the sound would stop working, What can I do?

This is a Sound Card that is incompatible with the Direct Input Digital signal. You will need to get either a new sound card (Sound Blaster works great (not a clone)) or a new Gameport (CH Products Gameport 3 Automatic is a good choice (force set at 15)). To find out for sure check out the Gameport Diagnostics section.

I Installed the Windows 95 Drivers and Win Quake and now my game character just scrolls to the left.

This is usually seen when the unit needs to be calibrated. Please see Calibrating in Windows 95. It can also happen if your Deadzone is too small for the joystick you are using. Please see Button Reconfiguration and Deadzone information.

My gameplay is slower with the Assassin 3D than with the Keyboard, What can I do ?

You just need to set up the game speeds. The Slow Gameplay page will help you do this.

I was looking for a list of your files, Where can I find it ?

Something new here for the FPgaming Web Site, The Allfiles list for the FPgaming Web Site.

I set up WinQuake and I see "FPgaming Assassin 3D configured" but the assassin still doesn't work?

WinQuake ships with the Joystick disabled, to enable it, bring up the console using the tilde and type in "joystick 1". You will only need to do this one time as it will be saved in your CONFIG.CFG file automatically.

Can I play games on KALI ?

Yes, Click Here to get everything you need for playing your favorite games on the Kali Network.

Can you give me a quick summary of button reconfiguration ?

All buttons (Assassin 3D and joystick) are configurable for each game. And, a default configuration is supplied with each game. For complete information see the Button Reconfiguration section.

How easy is it to move the Assassin 3D from one PC to another?

Assassin 3D can be moved from one PC to the other quite easily, it just hooks up to the joystick port. You will need to install the Drivers on both PCs and you may also transfer any configuration information for buttons etc, or choose to have custom configuration for each PC. You can assign the buttons as you wish, through the configuration file. Instructions are available in the Online Manual.

How do I create Windows 95 shortcuts so that the Assassin 3D works ?

Many of the games supported by the Assassin 3D can be launched from Windows 95 or from DOS. Creating a shortcut in Windows 95 allows you to enter the details one time and then forget about them. Here are two example shortcuts (Quake and Quake with Qlaunch)

Can the Assassin 3D also operate as a Trackball for windows and other mouse functions.

We now have the Amouse program that will allow your Assassin 3D to be act as a mouse pointer. Click Here to download it. We recommend that you save it in your C:\fpgaming directory.

The Assassin 3D works fine in DOS but not WIN95 in my dual boot system.
