AFP Game Commander to USB ??
Just Picked up an IKARUS AFP Pro Flight SImulator.
I cant use computer with Game Commander it came with because I have
no way to hook up th 15 pin connection. (nor do they supply any adaptors)
Is there a 15 pin to USB adapter you can purchase ? Will it run off of a USB port ??
I have a DELL Dimension computer.........there is no 15 pin port on the back of th unit
I have 2 USB ports, and a 9 pin serial port.
I'd also like to to use a 'regular' transmitter one day, also. Any ideas on this ?
I need some help please please please ??
Thanks,
Steve

You should have gotten the Game Commander and a 9 Pin cable with 6' wire for your transmitter ... did you not?
RCU wont let me show an Ebay URL.. just do a search for a "USB GAMEPORT" in the Ebay search.
RCU MODS:
I am not trying to sell something on Ebay, I am only telling this guy where he can get an adapter for the USB gameport.

Thanks........
Yes I got the 9 pin cable with tht unit.
I'll llok to see if I can find a 'connector' to go to a USB port.
One more thing......
I found that using a Futaba Conquest radio, I had to turn it ON for it to be recognized ??
Is this correct ?? I thought it would run with the TX off.
Thanks for your replies guys !!
