Hello,

Has anyone used a gameport to USB adaptor? I purchased one from Radio Shack in an attempt to use my MS 3D Pro stick again. I can get the stick, twisty-rudder and top four buttons to work. But not the throttle or bottom 4 buttons.

I can live without the buttons, but I need the throttle.

Any ideas, on how to get it to work?

I used to use the Rockfire USB game port adaptor and to get it to work with my old CH HOTAS setup, I had to set it up as 4 axis 4 button controller. Does the Radioshack adaptor give you the same option to set it as a 4 axis 4 button controller?

ack-ack
