Peeps

I was given a Logitech Wingman joystick so as I can improve my handling on me X-Plane sim. However my PC does not have a 15 pin Din socket for the joystick, but it does have a few USB ports. Do any of you guy's know how I can get it going. I can get a converter, but have not managed to find one. Even Maplin did have it.

Any suggestions will be wicked.

Nice one The Rooster

mmm...found this e-commerce site (http://www.cablesonline.net/dbjoytousbco.html) but it is in America. You might want to consider upgrading your soundcard instead - might be cheaper and is easier to source.

Cheers :cool:

Nice one peeps.

You always get a responce here what ever the question. Its excellent. Because of the price of the converter it's probably better to get a USB joystick instead.

Cheers again
