Sidewinder Force Feedback serial & Joyswitch

Would I be able to use my Sidewinder Force Feedback joystick w/ my Joyswitch if I bought the MS serial cable? At present the Force Feedback doesn't work when connected to the Joyswitch.

Hi Walter, I'm not sure you could. You may want to inquire about this with MS Product Support and/or post your question in the hardware newsgroup as well. (microsoft.public.microsofthardware.products) Sindar MS_MVP

I'm getting a serial adapter tomorrow from MS, so I'll let you know. I think the answer is yes, which is why I want one!

Hi Henry, Make sure that auto-coordination is turned off in your FS98's \Aircraft\AircraftSettings menu. Sindar MS_MVP On Tue, 3 Mar 1998 09:04:25 -0500, "HENRY G FRANZREB"
