I came across an excellent flight simulator (Flight Gear) that makes me want to take the old M/S joystick out of moth balls. Trouble is when I hooked it up, it apparently does not know Windows 7 x64bit from apple butter! I have a USB adapter that shares a USB2 with a 15 pin game port; so obviously they both function as USB2 ports.

The old joystick has a 15 pin plug on it and attaches to this connector, but nothing happens. The machine does not recognize it. Can this 15 pin game port connection function connected through a USB2 to the Motherboard? Can settings be made to tell the machine that it is there or will the Microsoft sidewinder force feedback joystick just not function in that lash-up? Trying to load the factory included programs/drivers fails because it will not allow Windows 7 to load them.

Lots of questions; LOTS of thanks!

Similar help and support threads Thread Forum We moved into a new home recently, and while going through some stuff in our office, SWMBO came across an envelope that obviously has been collecting dust waaaaay too long. In it was a free upgrade disk for W98. This unopened/still sealed package dates from the IBM Aptiva we bought while I was. Chillout Room So I was playing some Euro Truck simulator 2 yesterday, and since the wheels rotation is very limited, the wheel in game was very sensitive. Is there a way to make it so i can turn my Microsoft Sidewinder FFB wheel turn 900 degrees so the game is more realistic?
