Default Transmitter, how to adapt?

I have a Sanwa , Digital proportional system, is there a way to plug it in through a buddy box cable.

Assuming you mean an R/C transmitter probably, but what program were you thinking of connecting it to ? The various flight sims use different interfaces which are not interchangeable in most cases.

Oh, thanxz Steve

I was hoping to use it with MFS simulator by connecting it up somehow through my gaming port( the one my joystick is connected into) can't remember the name, it is the standard port.

Would it be possible to link it into the buddy cable connection port, this is my Tx that I use to fly with aswell so I can't take it apart to add stuff, just need to plug it in somehow.

If you know any sites that would help me please do give the addresses.

Thanxz again Steve

I guess you mean the FMS free simulator.

If it has to be the joystick port then the electronics required are quite complicated. You can buy a joystick interface that simply plugs into the trainer/buddy socket though you'll need to make sure that you tell whoever you get it from exactly which model of Sanwa Tx you have. The older ones e.g. VG series and the newer RD6000s have completely different trainer sockets.

Try http://www.rc-electronics.co.uk/ I know Ken does a good job and his prices are very reasonable. There are others around too.

There are also other interace types which connect to the parallel/printer port or the serial/COM port. These are simpler so cheaper or easier to build but they don't work with Win 2000 or XP.
