Post by: easymo on June 05, 2000, 09:39:00 PM: I have a sidewinder FF. It plugs into the game port. I was wondering if i could plug some pedals into the usb port, and map them to flaps or trim, ect. The rudder is fine the way it is. but ive ran out of fingers, and buttons. And my feet are just setting there doing nothing.

Can enyone tell me if there is a peddle out there that will work with SW? I dont need to use it for rudders. I just want a couple more buttons.

Sim-ped works with that stick . But you won't like the price (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif) .

I paid 187.00 USD to my door . (Germany to Michigan) Ask HBlair he has them now .
http://www.combatsim.com/ (http://www.combatsim.com/) tell about them if you look for the old write up .

Post by: airspro on June 19, 2000, 04:08:00 PM: easymo , I have been thinking about this all day (boring job thats what I have) I seen this in my surfing days and found it again this afternoon .

Here's the link .
http://www.xkeys.com/ (http://www.xkeys.com/)

Go to products>X-Keys>Footpedal

Plus this guy tried to sell this on eBay

the hand version . Hope it helps ya , as I sure got a lot of great ideas on the BB and just want to give a little back .

Why
Use the
X-keys
Foot Pedal?

Simplify database and spreadsheet navigation by
using your foot to execute the tab, shift tab, and enter keys.

Program frequently used keys such as Shift, Backspace, Ctrl or Alt.

Keep your hands free! Great for standalone applications where only a few special keys or commands are needed.

cheers spro
