I posted this elsewhere, but I guess I will try here too. I have recently purchased a new machine and it does not have a game port where I can plug in my really old but really loved thrustmaster stick. I like the stick so I would rather not get a new one with a USB plug. The only thing I really use it for is Flight Simulator. Does any one have a recommendation regarding an adapter I can use to get the stick to work? I have seen a device which has a game port plug on one end and a USB on the other, but I read bad reviews of it. Any recommendations on a good PCI card I can install with a game port on it? I have the slots available. Also, the new machine runs vista, should I expect problems using the old stick even with an adapter? If so I guess I might as well part with it and just buy a new joystick. Also, if a new stick is the answer I would like to hear some recommendations on that. I like the realistic feel. I have a little flying experience (ran out of the cash required to finish lessons) and the really loose totally whisbang sticks annoy me. Any insight would be appreciated, thanks. |
