The obvious solution here would be - buy a CD32 joypad. You'll find that
it's a lot less hassle than faffing about with your current stick,
particularly as CD32 games tend to make heavy use of all the buttons.
Plus they're damn good for playing normal Mig games with too...

Get the Competition Pro one, it's smart.
