How do I get my R/C controller to work in Vista?
I have a RealFlight R/C Simulator by Great Planes for PC. It is designed for a serial gameport. I do have a serial to USB adapter for it. It is not the Interlink model. My Vista PC does not have a serial gameport. When I try using the USB adapter it does not recognize my controller. My Windows XP machine on the other hand does have a serial gameport but dose not not recognize the controller. When I plug it into the USB on the same computer it does recognize a Gaming Device is plugged in, but incorrectly identifies it as a 2 axis and 2 button controller. Is there an R/C controller driver I can download from somewhere that will allow it to be recognized on either machines or is there some other way I can make this work? -- ThePickler |

Great planes web site may be of some help, or you might contact them.
There are multiple versions of the real flight hardware that exist. I could not identify the exact version you have. The web site lists Game port, parallel, and USB versions. My controller/adapter is a really old Lew Engineering USB unit. (2001) http://www.gpsoftware.com/contacts.htm "ThePickler" wrote in message ...
