Someone has smounted it ? How is made the position controller . I read that there is a small camera that see a led . Is possible to replace this position system with a potenziometer position system ? I have to apply force feedback to my homebuild symulator but the problem is to connect the potenziometers of my sim to the joystick . Help me please !!! Ciao Stefano Italy P.s. sorry for my english !

The short answer is no. The optical detector would not be easily replacable with a potentiometer. I don't really see why you would want to do this ? The optical positioning makes it much more accurate and stable than potentiometers ever could. I don't know what game you want to use it with, but most modern (Win95) games would support the digital joystick inerface, and they would be the games that would support feedback. So why not use it as it was intended ? John

Stefano, Ciao.....and your English is a hell of a lot better than my Italian....:-). The Sidewinder Precision Pro series of controllers are all digital/optical so it would take an entire re-design of the controller to allow the use of potentiometers. Force-feedback is pretty much universal, with the use of motors to convert the incoming signal to movement. You may be better off to try one of the analog FF controllers (CH??) for better compatibility with your simulator.
