September 4, 200322 yr Hello all, I'll Try again since my last post did not get any replies. May be because I titled it FASBUS instead of FSBUS.AnywayHas anyone built an analog Input card for FSBUS yet?I would like to know if it performs equal to or better than a USB joystick as far as the throttle, eleveator, & Aeilorn inputs are concerned.Thanks for any feedback.Sean W.

Mine is not yet in use, and will be used for throttles, but I am going to try with the yoke as well, at some point.>Has anyone built an analog Input card for FSBUS yet?>>I would like to know if it performs equal to or better than a>USB joystick as far as the throttle, eleveator, & Aeilorn>inputs are concerned.I cannot speak from my own experience, but Dirk said he has tested a yoke setup with the analog module and said it is good enough for yoke.Anyway, *if* it turns out to be a problem, making throttles with FSBUS and having one single joystick connector for yoke and pedals is a workable solution too.

September 7, 200322 yr Hello,My test results with yoke is as follows: under normal circumstances, the input from fsbus analog is handled fast enough. A heavy loaded pc (i used the Austria Wien,Schwechat Scenery AddOn) i noticed significant delays.In my cockpit, i will use X/Y yoke via gameport and all other analog values via fsbus.regards Dirk
September 7, 200322 yr Addition to Dirk.I prefer something similar than Dirk suggested.I have tested analog card and performance is outstanding. But. I still pefer normal flight controls via normal gameport or some USB joystick. All others, like throttles, brakes, spoilers and so on via FSBUS analog card.I you have some expensive joystick/yoke what you don't want to brake for specific cockpit. But some 3-4 axle USB joystick. Or just got 4 potentiometers and attach them to gameport. Google can find you tons of drawings how you can attach those potentiometers to gameport.- J
September 13, 200322 yr Hi! I've just built my analogue card but I haven't tried it as a joystick.I can tell you it has some latency(I use it for throttle, propeller and mixture control). The fsbus soft read very fast but the fs2002 cannot fallow it. When I try to change the prop fast 3 times up and down the fs2002 play with it for 5 more secs. I don't know what is the problem or where is it. I think it is because of the soft read and write the data for the sim....I've got a gameport and an usb joystick. The Usb much more reliable than the gameport one.You can buy a cheap 3 pot joystick with usb connection, take it apart and build your flight yoke and a pedal, and leave the fsbus controll the throttle. It doesn't need fast changes....
