Hi,
Well I battled this..... and if I can help one single FU player through this joystick/Pedals emulation hell, it's worth an email :angel:

This is now working;

Microsoft Sidewinder Pro ForceFeedback (Gameport)
CH Products Pedals (Gameport)
USB->Gameport thingie (for the pedals)

I bought the CH Pedals for the gameport (not the new USB thingie) because I (mistakelly) thought they would be compatible with FU. But due to the advanced use of the gameport/Mediport by MS FF joystick, the two items did not work together - not even in XP's configuration window. And I never managed to get CH Products gameport drivers to detect my CH Pedals either!!!?!

The solution was a USB->Gameport device and this little tool : (http://members.shaw.ca/coxswainballs/joy.rar). The tool installs a virtual "Game Device". FU see this single game device if it is chosen as "Preferred device" in the "Game controllers" advanced menu page. By use of the included JoyJoyPP.exe program , you are able to configure which axis of the physically game devices that must go to which axis in the virtual game device (the one FU sees).

There are a better description here; (http://www.simhq.com/simhq3/sims/boards/bbs/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=140;t=000057;p=1) The difference is just that they use Saitech joystick and USB pedals.

Anyway..... I passed my knowledge on, hopefully someone can save some time...

Regards
