AFP Game Commander connection
I apologize if this question been asked before. Just purchased a new pc, only to realize there is no 15 pin game port on the sound card for the game commander installation. Everything is going the way of USB. I assume I should still have the preveilge to fly, using my field TX via the dongle, but I would still occasionally like to use the game commander. Is there an adapter of sorts from 15pin to USB?
Cheers Al |

Hi
There are many ways around this problem. You can get a cheap PCI sound card for about $15. PCI soundcards usally have a 15pin port in them. Secondly...there is a conversion lead/adaptor Take a look below ANALOGE: http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?...ID=4&doy=23m10 DIGITAL: http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?...ID=4&doy=23m10 I use AFP, but not the game controller, im not sure which one it is. I hope this helps Cheers Volkan |

Radio Shack has a USB to 15 Pin game adapter and it works perfect.
Thanks |
RE: AFP Game Commander connection
This works very good

RE: AFP Game Commander connection
Thanks everyone,
Our local R/S dealer here and the computer shop said this cannot be done, other than buying a compatable 15pin game card or a new usb joystick. I should give them the R/C Universe link, for future reference. Cheers Al |
RE: AFP Game Commander connection
Yes it can, Im doing it now, it works perfect.
Click on my link If I understande you your Radio Shack person said it can't? If so, then howcome they sell 1. Too Funny ya gotta love RS personal. |
RE: AFP Game Commander connection
Went out and bought the connector at Radio Shack, haven't tried the AFP commander yet. I did try using a joystick for Flght sim 04 and I could not get it to work using the adapter. It would not allow me to calibrate the joystick. What's up with that???
I hope AFP works. |
RE: AFP Game Commander connection
analog / digital?
try AFP, there's no harm in that. If there is a problem, let us now. Which joystick are you using? |
RE: AFP Game Commander connection
Sorry it took so long to get back to everyone.
I have once again had success in getting my TX to work, still having trouble assigning and calibrating the game commander though via the RS 15 pin/usb adapter. I have had occasional luck getting AFP to recognize the commander, only to have difficulty in assigning channels for the commander. Now I have no joy in having AFP recognize the game commander at all. Any ideas??? |
RE: AFP Game Commander connection
I'm still fighting the same things you are. What a p.o.s. I shoulda just went flying.
Have you looked on the website and found the thing you absolutely must download and execute, after install? How did that work for you? Just once, I'd like a computer product to arrive completely developed, instead of becoming my headache. Yah, yah, I know, don't bother.

RE: AFP Game Commander connection
Dave,
I couldn't find a patch to downlownload for this problem. Apparently AZVMAX has his working, maybe we can get more info from him. I also don't understand why a simple plugin adapter causes so much grief. Hang in there. Cheers Al |
