Saitek Throttle Quadrant connection

Recommended Posts

My ancient Throttle Quadrant is connected to the Yoke via PS/2 socket which in turn is connected to a powered USB hub. On FS2020 the Quadrant does not show up on the Controls page of the sim. Is the wiring such that I can use a PS/2 to USB adaptor.  TIA

The quadrant doesn't show up as a separate device, it shows up as three extra axes and six extra buttons on the yoke. And no, a PS/2 adapter will not help. It is just coincidence that Saitek chose the same DIN plug as the PS/2 connector used.
