November 22, 200322 yr My CH Products Flight Sim Yoke (gameport interface, not USB) is not working in WinXP. It works correctly with Win98 on one computer, and I have a Microsoft Sidwinder ForceFeedback operating correctly in WinXP on a different computer. The Flight Sim Yoke (bought 4 or 5 years ago) will not work on the XP computer, even after downloading the drivers from the CH web site. The gamecontrols control panel indicates that the yoke is connected okay, but there is no movement during calibration. I have a combined sound and game controller (SB Live! Series made by Creative).Thus, I don't think the problem is just bad electrical connections, because the yoke works on the other computer and the ForceFeedback works on the XP. Any help getting my yoke to work in XP would be very much appreciated!Tom
November 22, 200322 yr Hi Tom, I had the same problem. I was using ME and changed to XP. The drivers that came with my CH "FlightSim" yoke (non-USB) did not work (would not show up in controller list at all). I downloaded new updated drivers from the CH website. It is odd as when you are calibrating it appears that the calibration 'bugs' are way off center and will not go to center. After many tries, I just ignored the way they looked, continued calibrating, went into FSCOF and all was well. Unlike the previous setup, calibration does not appear to take effect while you are actually calibrating, but it is calibrated in FS.I hope you can understand what I'm saying. I know it's a bit convoluted.Good luck, Adam
November 22, 200322 yr Author I'm using the same yoke in Win XP with no problems. Calibration tool works fine. However, I am using the gameport on my motherboard rather than my soundcard (I also have a SB Live). Make sure you have the latest driver AND Windows update for the soundcard. Maybe the problem is with the gameport interface. If you have a gameport on your motherboard, use it. It's almost always better. Good luck.Randall
