Hi folks,
I am running my tsw2 with "old" thrustmaster t1 pots that I had lying around as spares. Will it be possible to run a "normal" gameport -> usb converter with this setup or will I have to go the long way and order the $100 conversion kit from Thomas? If I understand it correctly, the custom converter is only needed if you run the higher "spec" pots in the TSW, or am I mistaken? Thanks much in advance & all the best, uwe -- mail replies to Uwe at schuerkamp dot de ( yahoo address is spambox) Uwe Schuerkamp //////////////////////////// http://www.schuerkamp.de/ Herford, Germany \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ (52.0N/8.5E) GPG Fingerprint: 2E 13 20 22 9A 3F 63 7F 67 6F E9 B1 A8 36 A4 61 |

I have used the Rockfire USB adapter with great success. No sothware needs
installing (Win98), rather it just appears in the Controller setup of Windows ready for calibrating. The thing is the high quality 250k ohm pots are required when using the likes of the Rockfire. I have heard some say that its no good but they haven't upgrade their old 50k pots and thus get a very notched movement through the Rockfire. Its a high quality unit and it needs high quality pots. Here is a link to it on my RRC web pages. http://www.wave.co.nz/~lakewood/USB.htm Also the unit that Jone Tytlandsvik has mentioned looks like the bee knees for likes of myself who make control units. I will be looking at this system for the future.

Would one of these work with a gameport MSFF wheel?
I believe it ises the midi pins for feedback. R. |

Why not use an old soundcard? Or is this some complicated setup?

Hi folks,
thanks for all the replies. I installed a new *NIC* in my windows gaming machine today (disabled the on-board one in the BIOS), and haven't had a single GTR crash online since then. Now don't tell this to anyone as it needs more testing, but if it turns out to be a solution, they can keep their xp pro license and I'll squeeze some more life out of my 98se rig yet ;-) all the best & thanks again for your help, uwe -- mail replies to Uwe at schuerkamp dot de ( yahoo address is spambox) Uwe Schuerkamp //////////////////////////// http://www.schuerkamp.de/ Herford, Germany \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ (52.0N/8.5E) GPG Fingerprint: 2E 13 20 22 9A 3F 63 7F 67 6F E9 B1 A8 36 A4 61 |
