Howdy folks! I recently purchased some racing pedals from the thrift store, CH branded pedals to be more specific. Has anyone in here rigged something like that before? I am not finding much in the way of answers online. It has a gameport plug (old.. pre-USB) but I think I can get an adapter for $15 or so. Even so, I believe I would have to use FSUIPc (registered) to utilize my Saitek yoke and these new pedals. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!

do the pedals just have braking? or rudder movement? also the resolution of the potentiometer may be useful.

I've looked this up and found the same pedals before too. CH says they won't work with Win7/8 from what I read somewhere. frown

I've seen a 15-pin gameport to usb cable connection piece before. You may get them working. you never know. You'd probably need the full version of FSUIPC.

The other thing you need to remember, is that they don't pivot on a central axis.

A device such as this:

http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-F3U200-08INCH-Joystick-Adapter-SideWinder/dp/B000067RIV/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1432559235&sr=8-1&keywords=gameport+to+usb

should enable the pedals to show up as a USB device under any windows version. Given their age, you may want to disassemble them and spray the pots with TV Tuner or Electronics Cleaner available from Radio Shack or Fry's.
