Default Real Flight won't plug into computer??

I just got a new computer and tried to hook up my real flight similator to it. But the plug on the radio won't fit to any of the outlets on the back of the computer. What do I do now? Do they sell adapters or something somewhere?
Thanks
Ryan

What version of Realflight do you have? G2 with the USB Interlink controller or one of the earlier versions and/or controllers?

Best regards,
Krister

OK, in that case your controller probably connects to your PC using the game port? There are game port adapters which you connect to the USB port on your PC, giving you a new game port.

I am located in Sweden, so I am afraid I have no idea exactly where you could find one where you live. My guess would be most good computer hardware stores or similar.

Best regards,

Or you can do like I did when I discovered my new computer does not have a game port connection - buy the new interlink controller. It seems to work a little better and allows me to play with the Harrier and Osprey.

Oops, just noticed you have the older version - not G2. No need for the new controller.
