sidewinder and rudder pedals

[Guest]

I have a Sidewinder Force Feedback Pro and CH rudder pedals (both non-USB). Can I use them together so, for instance, in flying helis I do not use the twist feature of the joystick but the rudder pedals instead?Thanks, Tom

Hi, Tom. This topic may bring you more help/feedback in the PC Hardware forum, but I will try to give you some help here. Rudder pedals input is on pin 11 of the Gameport connector. In this case you will have both devices connected to the same input. I do not think you will damage your devices, they are open collector type, so you can wire or them, but for any movement from one input it will affect the other. Short answer, yes you can but it will not be clean. I moved my CH Rudder pedals on the USB with the RShack converter, about $17.00 PN 26-164, now you can have more than one device that has the Rudder function enabled. I hope this helps, post in the PC Hardware Forum if you need more help. TV
