November 28, 200322 yr Ok, So I buy the set of Suncom throttles through SWAP Meet forums, they are in excellent condition with Software CD's included.The problem is that I cant install the Drivers. The readme instructions do not account for WINXP.Now to make matters more complicated,I have Rudders and a Yoke running off the gameport.So I bought 2 adaptes, an AT->PS/2 for the keybaord emulation and a Gameport->USB adapter.I plugged everything in and a few lights appear and the adapter name shows in the Game Devices but still no GO!Can someone please explain to me how to get these babies up and running?JohnP 2.53 GHZ512 RAMWINXPGFORCE 4 128MB Ti4600http://homepage.eircom.net/~eamonnmca/images/logo_ba.JPGwww.bavirtual.co.uk Senior Captain Simflight.com Staff Reviewerhttp://vatsim.pilotmedia.fi/statusindicator/status.php?id=815145;indicator=BAV01
November 29, 200322 yr John - Are these the Suncom SFS Throttles? If so I believe that in order to work they need the SFS Joystick connected to them? I have a set and have tried to use the throttles with a Logitech joystick. No joy.I plan on using one of Leo's Baby Plasma USB cards to get them working as a USB device.John, too :) JohnMy first SIM was a Link Trainer.

November 29, 200322 yr Ok time I jump in. I've been looking for a SFS throttle forever now. Any of you guys wanna sell me one? ;)They still sell on ebay for more than I care to spend. I just got lucky and picked up a game port Saitek X-35 throttle that had some bad buttons. This is an awesome throttle. Feels really nice, but I still want to get a dual throttle eventually for my pit and the SFS is the only one I know of.FYI - (2nd) John the "baby" doesn't have HOTAS support so you'll miss out on all the POVs and rocker switches. :(Olle was supposed to provide me with the PCB files for making your own circuit boards, but I haven
November 29, 200322 yr Hey jmig! Didn't realize it was you John. So I guess you wouldn't be interested in trading a Siatek for an SFS now would you? I guess you need that dual throttle for your T-38 pit. Is there anything I could say to convince you to build a single engine fighter instead...like a neat F-16? :DCheers,-Leo
