Rickards1952 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 My name is Rick and have been a simmer since a flight sim was introduced on the Commadore 64, yes I am old...lol. I now fly on FSX and only have one issue. I have an older set of CH rudder pedals and for some reason I cannot find drivers for them. I have searched the net and the CH site with no luck. I am running Windows 7 and a CH Eclipse flight yoke which works great. My pedals are older and the connection is a 15 pin game port. I purchased a USB to a 15 pin game port cable hoping once plugged in it would be detected, but it wasn't. I need the drivers obviously. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

mrzippy Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Welcome aboard, youngster! In 1952 I was already 4 years old! ;) I just wonder if the cable is actually the problem? Might be! You say "not detected"....by FSX or by the computer itself? Did you check under Control Panel/Game Controllers or under System/Hardware to see if it is detected? If nothing is detected, then may be time for some newer stuff! Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jandjfrench Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Hi Rick, I don't believe it's a question of drivers. I too had an adapter cable that did not work. I also attempted to install an older Sound Blaster card that had a game port but had no success with that either. Actually I was trying to get Windows to recognize one of the original MS Force Feedback joysticks but believe the roadblocks are the same. I did spend a fair amount of time searching for a solution without success so perhaps it's a lost cause. Jim F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Haven't used it myself, but this could be a solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrUnSavory Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Haven't used it myself, but this could be a solution. The device shown here does work. My question is why would you buy one to support a very old piece of equipment that could fail shortly after purchasing this. Bite the bullet and buy a new pair of Saitek pedals. You will be better off in the long run. Also, every boy loves new toys!!! :) Good Luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
