This would be correct, apols for not mentioning as much...it was during my test
of the GoG Red Baron pack that I discovered dosbox wasn't seeing USB HID ; you
are right, Red Baron 3D doesn't use dosbox ; that said, if USB HID is working
in linux with dosbox, same should be so for OSX. Dosbox just stands out as a
test target in my mind, as it's open source and the devs will be able to
exactly determine what input method the win32 port uses that isn't working in
OSX with wine. Sorry for any confusion.
