I found my old TM Elite rudder pedals (15 pin serial). My card has the port to plug it in. Not getting recognized.
My issue is I've been using a MS SideWinder FFB2 (twisty) via USB. I can disable the Z axis in-game for the SW, but my issue is getting the pedals recognized?
Any solutions? The searches I've done pulled up some stuff from 2003 that doesn't resolve the issue.
I use Win XP Pro. ATI radeon 9700 pro.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

With most pedals you need to run them along with another analog joystick.
My solution has always been to run the pedals along with a regular analog steering wheel. Of course, I recently removed my joystick port so I had to buy new USB pedals and no longer have the option to hook up my old analog wheel unless I reinstall the old soundcard.
But the bottom line is that you generally need to run the pedals with a regular joystick for it to be recognized. Some folks hacked together a "z-axis only" stick driver that allegedly would recognize rudder pedals all by themselves, but that driver never worked for me.

I ran my analog pedals with a USB stick no problem, it was all CH stuff tho. I did switch over to a gameport to USB cable and ran them like that for a year until I could afford the New USB pedals. I'd try the adapter. They are only 30-40 bucks. HERE'S ONE (http://www.bizrate.com/rd2?t=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fdp%2FB0009PXKZ8%3Fsmid%3DA2JSBUBRVPP4SX%26tag%3Dshopzilla_rev_357-20%26linkCode%3Dasn&mid=184056&catId=46002&prodId=841413141&pos=1&tokenId=12&lg=1&bAmt=8ba1eb00eb94bdda&ppr=ea2c15a289e533b3&oid=841413141&atom=10231&bidType=4&bId=17&cobrand=1&bucket=1&bucketPos=1) for $25

that seems to be the impression i'm getting. the z-only thing doesn't seem to work for me (controllers shows it as not connected).. i'm guessing this will be the passthru the 2nd stick.
wonder if a gameport to usb adapter would do it? ah i see it did for fugitive. did you daisy them somehow or stick/throttle direct to one port and pedals direct to another?
