Hi Peter,Are you a newbie around here :-)? I'm kidding, of course - I remember you well from the "good old days" of FLY!; it's great to see you back. I have both the USB yoke and pedals from CH products and I'll confirm that you have everything set up correctly... the Prop lever should indeed use the Z rotation axis. I'm not sure why you're having problems. One question, are you using the CH Control Manager that was included with the hardware? If not, I highly recommend it; I don't know if it will solve your prop problems - but being able to flatten the Aileron/Elevator response curves has done wonders in making my sim flying more realistic. Let me know if I can provide any more help.See Ya,Marc

Peter,1. Under menu Options-Controls-Assignments, check the following:the Prop axis is assigned ONLY to a Yoke axis, NOT to another (e.g. pedals) axis as well.2. Under menu Options-Controls-Sensitivities, check the following:The Sensitivity of the Prop axis is set to MAX. (at MIN it's ineffective)My guess is, it's 2. :-)Cheers, Rob Barendregt

My CH yoke and pedals are gameport, but I think the mechanical parts are fundamentally the same as the USB's. I've had them for 3 or 4 years now.I've had no problems at all with them, and they are used several times a week. (All the time, according to my wife.) The yoke gets taken off the desk and put back on frequently, as the others in my family seem to think that computers have a purpose other than flight sim.I'd recommend these to anyone. Since they've worked fine, I haven't had any dealings with Support, so I can't comment on that. When XP came out they had to re-write their gameport drivers. They beat their own estimated date for completion, and the download worked great on the first release.If you've never used a yoke and pedals, you're in for a treat, by the way. My joysticks are all gathering dust right now.

RobNo 2 was the answer so many thanks for sorting this out for me as well as Marcs suggestionsPeter

The toe brakes work fine when using the Gameport to USB adapter. Been using this type of operation for a couple of years.I used to use a gameport CH yoke, but am now using the 3 lever USB version. I still need to have my gameport pedals hooked up to the old gameport yoke in order for it to work. (Actually, any old analog gameport joystick will work just as well).Wouldn't be without my toe brakes now!Darrell

I have gameport pedal and a yoke I was wondering if there were any major differences in the operation of the yoke and pedals gameport vs usb, or do the work the same just via different hardware.

Can you supply a part number for the adapter? I went to the Radio Shack here and couldn't find it. Also, will one adapter work both yoke and pedals when the yoke is connected to the pedals and the pedal cable is the connected to the game port or the usb? I have a 'pigtail' gameport - usb that came with a joy stick, but when using it, the computer isn't aware that it exists. By the way, "adapter" or "adaptor" are both correct spellings. Thanks for the help.Jim

I don't have any part number--just pulled my adapter out and found these numbers---01A02 and Cat No:26-164. I bought mine at a Fry's Electronics store in Arlington, Texas when I picked up parts for a new computer. It's listed on my invoice as "Apple DVI-VGA Adapter". Cost was $20.00.The pedals should plug into the gameport plug on your computer. The yoke plugs into the Joystick plug on the cable from the pedals. The "Aux" plug goes into the USB adapter plug. Make sure the dip switch on the adapter is set to "Joystick A".Darrell

Here you are sir...http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?cata...t%5Fid=26%2D164That's part number 26-164 if the link does not work..Dan
