| 776196 | 2009-05-23 11:43:00 | I have a Sidewinder Freestyle pro and a game-USB adapter that came with the freestyle, and this works fine with Windows 7 and XP. However, I want to use my Sidewinder Force Feedback Pro joystick, which has the same game plug pin outs as the freestyle, but does not work with the adapter. Windows shows no sign of recognising it. It works fine when plugged into a game port on an older PC, but I don't know why it doesn't work with my adapter. Any ideas? | sammo450 (13626) | ||
| 776197 | 2009-05-24 12:00:00 | Is 1 USB2 as apposed to the other maybe USB 1.1? It could be that your old analogue pro stick doesnt match up with the digital usb adapter like the later freestyle pro does. Least thats been my experience with ms hardware products when coming from 98 to xp to vista. The old game port is hardly supported now. |

| 776198 | 2009-05-24 23:56:00 | The game port was given the heave-ho with Vista. I have one of those rattle-and-shake sticks in the cupboard where it has been since loading Vista. | linw (53) | ||
| 776199 | 2009-05-25 00:40:00 | Oh ok then. It's not ideal using the Freestyle for flight sims, that's why I would like to have the Feedback going. I tried a DSE game-USB, but that didn't work. | sammo450 (13626) | ||
| 776200 | 2009-05-25 00:44:00 | I have a Logitech Force Feedback Wingman which works under XP, Vista and Win 7. USB. | Sweep (90) | ||
| 776201 | 2009-05-25 02:17:00 | I'd be more concerned with that PSU powering the rest of your system if I were you! | SolMiester (139) | ||
| 776202 | 2009-05-25 03:12:00 | Haha yeah I know, next pay day I'm going to get a Corsair HX520W. @Sweep: That would be an option if I had some more money :) |
