Hi Den,

you should be able to use the wheel now in most sims if the axises
axae ;-) are recognized by windows / dx calibration. I guess your
problem is with the sw profiling software then? Most modern sims allow
you to customize ff in-game or by editing text-based ini files, so you
might want to try without the profiler software first.

All the best,

uwe

Hi Guys
I have been trying to get my son's old Msffb gameport wheel to work for
him,i ordered a rockfire rm203 (USB converter) from the states,after
connecting to computer using sidewinder 4.0 software {mode 3} i get 4 button
4 axis,it comes up with z rotation etc,it will not recognise it as a wheel,i
have tried all modes to the same response.If anyone out there has a similar
config would you please advise how you got the wheel to be recognised.

AFAIK the A7N8X-X does have a gameport connection. You might have to
buy a connector for it (should be cheap).

Cheers!

Thanks Uwe for your reply,unfortunatly i did not make myself clear,it comes
up with 4 button 4 axis but it will not let me calibrate,also the wheel is
not showing any calibration, (in any of the 4 modes on the rockfire) if i
directly connect my own wheel (Msffb-usb} the system recognises it
instantly,so the system is fine just will not recognise the gameport version
connected through the Rockfire adaptor.
TIA
