What the *%$# !
To all,
Bullfrog got his working but here is the simple solution for all LAPTOP flyers.
From Add Hardware, add a game port. It is under "Sound, video and game controllers". Even though your laptop does not have a game port, Real Flight is looking for a port to configure. Your Game Port to USB adapter does the trick.
I have set this up on several laptops, both original game port controller and ILink. Works great.
If you have any questions, let me know. I don't post much simulator stuff here but can also be found on GP or Knife Edge softwares forums.
