It is possible to use the throttle with another joystick if the game lets you assign axis etc. & supports multiple controllers. However, the Saitek throttle has to be connected to the Saitek joystick as all the "brains" are in the joystick (just put the Saitek joystick out of the way). However, if you are having problems related to PS/2 then obviously this won't change that. Ok, but my intention was indeed to bypass the "brains" and thus the PS/2 connections, since I think the latter is only needed to simulate pressing keys on the keyboard for the rotary knobs and all the throttle and joystick buttons. I have to find if what make the throttle and rudder level works are two potentiometers and connect their pins or wires directly to the Y-cable. But all the above is useless if the MS Sidwinder joystick takes all control on the gameport.That can be the case, since I guess it needs some sort of controller to make the hat switch work. And all the pinout charts I've found on the net about the gameport don't specify any hat switch pin... |

Hey, any progress on this? I want to do the same with x45 and
sidewinder precision pro... I tried wiring the pot from the x45 throttle to the where the sidewinder throttle wires go into the ciruit board but that doesn't work (probably because MS has a differnent type of signal) so I'm thinking I need to splice into the the wires running out of the MS into the PC but I'm not sure wich wires... __________________________________________________ _____ Message posted via the Flight Simulation Forums at www.simradar.com SimRadar.com - Search Engine, Downloads, Videos, News and more |
