So if I can sum up the thread, even just for my own sake, we have 3
applications where USB joysticks (HID devices) work in Wine-Linux but not
Wine-OS X: IL-2, Red Baron 3D, and DosBox. We have 1 application where a USB
HID device works in Wine-OS X: Flatout. Does this give any indication of where
the problems may lie?

P.S. Upon re-reading the thread, I think there is some confusion over Red Baron
3D and DosBox. Red Baron 3D doesn't use DosBox. DosBox is only for Red Baron 1.
GOG's installer for the Red Baron pack forces you to install DosBox even if you
don't install Red Baron 1, which confused me at first too, made me think
RedBaron 3D was a game requiring DosBox. But, in fact, Red Baron 3D is a
regular windows app. I have Red Baron 3D running on both Windows 7 and OS X
(minus joystick functionality in OS X of course) without DosBox. So where Red
Baron 3D and DosBox don't see a joystick, those are actually two different
examples of applications not reading the USB HID device through Wine in OS X.
