aschaab Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 Hi all just did a bit of playing around with Windows 7 / 64bit. BS and FC look pretty fine, framerate is great and X52pro/TIR4 work also perfect - but: I just cannot get my gameport pedals to be recognized :( Anybody here know a way to get those gameport pedals to work under Win7/64 (or Vista64, I assume its the same issue) ? Thanks, best regards, -Axel-
JG14_Smil Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 does win7 see your pedals? does win7 see your gameport? try getting the gameport properties and make sure it looks OK there. Wiser folks will be along soon to help. I am guessing it is a X-52 thing. good luck.
aschaab Posted July 13, 2009 Author Posted July 13, 2009 Howdy yep, it sees the gameport and its OK (at least that's what stated in Device Mgr). But it does not recognize the pedals and there is no ConfigPanel for manually setting up/ adding the pedals, as it was in WinXP. Thanks, -Axel-
m0jo Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 Gameport is not supported anymore on vista x64 or win 7 x64, however, you can convert a gameport device to usb with this: http://www.leobodnar.com/products/BU0836A/
Sokol1_br Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 (edited) Win7/32 too don't recognize gameport - at last in RC. In spite of BU0836 to be a great option, a cheaper option to convert a gameport pedal to USB is to use the circuit USB of a 3 axes josytick, like Logitech Attack. I don't recoment use these cheaper chinese stick like Trust, they have a expressive deadzone, and small travel in axis. A how to: http://snomhf.exofire.net/gameportPedals.html Note - You don't need to use exactly the same used by Mr.Snomhf. Edit - Or maybee a USB to gameport convert solve the problem: http://www.usbgear.com/computer_cable_details.cfm?sku=ijoy1&cats=106&catid=626%2C106 These work for some stick/pedal but not for anothers.

aschaab Posted July 17, 2009 Author Posted July 17, 2009 Thanks for your helpful comment. Actually I'm currently waiting for my USB-Gameport converter to arrive, hopefully this will solve the issue. If not, I'll make my pedals to USB as Mr.Snomhf did :) Thanks again, -Axel-
aschaab Posted July 20, 2009 Author Posted July 20, 2009 Issue solved :) My USB-Gameport converter has arrived - plugged in and all is OK ... Off to start flying (oh well, crashing) my 'Shark... -Axel-
