I still do not know why it was not initially working prior to installing USB Overdrive.

My System Report indicates that it recognizes my joystick as connected to a USB port.

I downloaded the X-Plane demo and the settings menu within the simulator software does not recognize the joystick.

I know that X-Plane was originally developed on a Mac so I feel certain that there is a way to solve this.

If you tell us what Mac product you have, we can ask the Hosts to move you to a more active and appropriate forum for your product.

I like flight sims and have an older X-Plane version on a geriatric Mac in the spare room.

I can tell you that there are very few flight simmers around here.you will probably get a more detailed and faster response in the x-plane.org forums or the X-Plane forums at AVSIM: In the older version I still use (v7.30), the only goober with setting up the joystick was if you tried to make the stick less sensitive, bad things starting happening.

Plug it in and use.

Worked with any game in MacMAME and a couple others.

None were NES games, the software just had to recognize a connected joystick.

Still no movement with the red bars on the joystick axis in the calibration screen in the game.

However, there once was a program called USB Overdrive that helped long ago.

I dont know if it was ever updated to work with more recent OSX versions.

Well, looky what I found Its been updatd to work through OS 10.10 Yosemite: Take a look and see if that might be what you need.

There is not much documentation with the utility so I may not be using it correctly.

This will generate an on screen HardwareNetworkSoftware configuration listing.

Click on USB under the Hardware heading and a list of connected USB devices will be displayed.

If the joystick is not displayed that is the answer for its non-rsponse.

I have the 5K iMac also and am using a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro stick with it.

Unfortunately the next roadblock is AMD which apparently does not have any drivers for MAC OS.

Needless to say my initial experience in switching to MAC is off to a rocky start but Im determined to hang in there and not go back to Windows.

One of the members on the X-Plane forum suggested removing USB Overdrive.

Did that, rebooted the computer and the problem fixed itself.
