Currently I have a CH Flightstick Pro/Throttle/Pro pedals setup. My Flightstick is getting a bit old, I recently scored a MS Sidewinder FF Pro.

The question I have is there anyway to keep using my throttle/pedals with the FF Pro?

You should be able to, I use 2 completely different sticks at the same time.

yup but when the FF pro is on the pass through from the throttle it stops working.

Not USB.

So far I've figured out the FF Pro uses the secondary channel for midi signals to control the FF, apparently theres a midi-serial cable for it, so I might give that a try.

The only way to get that setup to work is if you have two input game card . If you would have had a USB FFB stick then as SKurj said NP but !!!! Don't hook both throttle and that stick together , only asking for problems . One's digtal the others analog .

Buy ya a cheap USB Pre Pro if you have to that works , I use it for my back up setup . Better yet buy ya a Saitek x36 and use your ch peds with it .

cheers spro

Well in the end I stripped my FS Pro down and swapped the builtin throttle POT with the roll POT... worked a treat! Not as accurate as the FF Pro though but I'm happy.
