September 3, 200718 yr Hi all.I'm interested in buying a pedal set to go with my CH USB Flight Sim yoke, but am unclear if the thrustmaster elite rudder pedals will work on my windows XP machine.I know they are gameport, but can I get a converter to all them to plug into my USB ports? I don't have a gameport on my machine any longer.Thanks.Tracy
September 3, 200718 yr I see a few people checking in...but no replaies :(Is anyone even running FSX with the Thrustmaster pedals? I used them a few years ago when practicing for my IFR ticket (using Jeppesen Flitepro and FLY 2) but haven't flight simmed yet.Maybe the CH Products pedals will work well? Any thoughts?Tracy
September 25, 200718 yr I have been using Thrustmaster gameport pedals with CH Products' USB Yoke in Windows XP. The combination worked fine in FS9 and FSX. I can't answer the analog to USB conversion question, though. I had an old joystick lying around that I plugged into the Thrustmaster plug (which plugged into my gameport) and it was just a question of assigning, in FSX, the correct axis to the pedals, not assigning any axes to the "dummy" joystick and assigning the aileron and elevator axes to the USB yoke, then assigning appropriate controls to the Yoke buttons.

September 26, 200718 yr Tracy,I'm still using my 6 year old Thrustmaster Rudder Pedals. And yes youcan use a Gameport to USB converter; I am. Just do a search and you will find a number of them out there.CraigLian-Li PC60-B Case Corsair HX Series CMPSU-620HX 620W Power Supply Gigabyte P35 DS3R Intel Core2Duo E6850 Arctic Cooling Freezer7 Pro Crucual Ballistix 2GB PC2-8500 (DDR2-1066) EVGA 7950 GT OC 512 Mb Plextor PX-810SA/SW-BL 18X SATA DVD Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 500GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/sec Seagate Barracuda 7200.10250 GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/secCraig
