Apple changed the way plug-ins work a while ago so the OS X version no longer 
runs (it still works in older versions of Safari, just not newer ones). It 
would need a complete rewrite to fix this.

If I were to use Google Crome, would that make a difference ? / Per Vestin

For the time being no. I wrote this originally before Chrome came out and 
Safari had the largest market share. I will eventually get round to updating 
it, I just don't know when.

i too cannot get my Microsoft Sidewinder Pro joystick to be recognised by 
GEFS.It does work with trial of MS Flight Simullator X.
Oddly i downloaded a different driver ( turned out to be older than the 2006 
one I already had)and it did work.However it came fom Cnet who loeased Mysearch 
onto my machine even thought I said idi dnot want it.Therefore removed it and 
restoreed system.
using an HP pavilion 64 bit Windows 7.

Does the test page work with your joystick:

@blinkbonnywebsite
See issue 17, do you have the controller visible in the control panel? See here:

@nathanandben2
What's your OS and browser?

Thanks for response.
Bizarrely I just downloaded the recommended driver AGAIN and it seems to be 
getting recognised now.
I use Firefox and W7 home premium.
tried it on IE8 but Google Earth didn't want to wpork.

Are you using this page for Google Earth:

http://earth-api-samples.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/demos/interactive/index.html

Does the earlier test page work in IE?

No to qn 1.Yes to qn 2.
I am just using Google earth as I had downloaded before.
The joystick was recognised in IE but Google earth keeps telling me I need to 
restart browser.I do to no avail.
All seems OK in Firefox now so I will stick with that as I don't use IE 
normally.

Hope this helps you.

My joystick (Gamefactory model G60502A)also is not working with GEFS.  I'm 
running Firefox 33.0 in Windows 8.1 Home Edition.  I've installed and 
uninstalled the extension multiple times and restarted my PC even.  The 
joystick appears to be working when I visit the Settings section for the device 
in the Windows Devices and Printers screen, it sees my inputs.

If you type about:plugins in the address bar, does the joystick plug-in show? 
What happens if you go to the page in comment #7 above?

Hi, I have the Logitech Extreme 3D Pro joystick, and I am trying to use the 
online GEFS and or the flight simulator on Google earth. Neither one is 
allowing me to use this joystick, it seems that is not recognized by either on 
of those programs. I also installed the joystick installer-0.6.3 and did not 
seem to help. Any suggestions, Thank you.

It looks like plug-in support for your browser has either been blocked or 
requires extra steps to activate. GEFS needs to either work around this or move 
to the Game API.

You can check if the plug-in is installed by typing about:plugins in the 
address bar.

Thank you for your suggestions, I re-installed Java Plug-in and it works, 
somehow, when I installed the plug in from "installer-0.6.3" did not work or 
did not install properly. anyways, it is up and running now. Thank you again.

Hello all..........things just get more odd here.
Last Xmas my son gave me a Thrustmaster joystick and it worked straight away.I 
have not used it for may many months but now it is not recognised as was the 
old Microsoft one.
I have re-installed the plug in and tried it on Firefox IE and Chrome all to no 
avail.
Also re-installed latest Java itself.
In comment 16 where did you re-install the plug in from if not 
"installer-0.6.3".
Does CW in 17 mean it will never fix as suggested in Status as there is no 
actual comment in the item.
Looks like we need more explanation from 16 as you are in the lead here.
GEFS is great when it is working with joystick.
Best wishes to all

Closing the bug as 'WontFix' was specific to the Safari version for OS X.

If the plug-in fails to work on Windows due to recent browser changes, the 
suggestions here should work:

https://code.google.com/p/javascript-joystick/issues/detail?id=21#c8

The Java plug-in isn't required; this plug-in is standalone. IE will need a 
change from the GEFS guys to run, taking the updated script from here:

.js

Thanks so much........I have just crashed into my own house here in Edinburgh 
Scotland.
Tried in on Opera where it worked rather variably THEN.............

I went into the plug ins manager in Firefox as suggested and set the joystick 
to always and hey presto !!!!

Folks on here are so helpful and I hope my experience will help others.
