Sleem Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 I've an old FLCS/TQS with Bob Church's digital chip upgrade. As it is this needs a gameport to work. Does anyone know if there's a way to get this working with a modern pc with win7/64? If connected through a gameport to USB adapter what level of functionality can I expect? I'm not really interested in doing a full USB conversion with rewiring, etc. Many thanks

Griffon345 Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 Been through this exercise a couple times with the Digital F22. Win 7 doesn't do gameports, as you said. I tried using an old soundcard with the gameport and works fine in Winxp - Win7 = no joy. The adapter would work according to my searching but you cannot program the HOTAS at all :( All you get is a 4 axis, 4 button w. POV setup. I gave up and bought a G940. Then gave up again ;) and bought the Warthog. All smiles now. The experimenting happened a while back and things may have moved on, so don't give up just yet. Good luck and let us know if something works.
