Older Flight Stick question.

[ViperXX]

I have an old Flight Stick Pro with the DB connector. I bought a DB15 to USB adapter and when I plug it into the computer it's not detected. Has anyone tried this before? Is there a driver that I need to find and download to make it work?

There may be a way I don't know about, but drivers are not available. I have the same (sort of) problem with Microsoft Sidewinder...the only way it works is in XP, but this is an OS problem...will not work in Win 7 64.

Yea I'm using Win 7 64, it might be the problem.

If you're mobo has a PCI slot, you can get one of these. Just disable the audio part of it and use the port.

Edit: Here's a bit more info. I believe I did something like this a while back. Still had my CH Flightstik w/15(?) pin connector back then. I remember it worked for me

Good luck
