Hi.


I forgot to tell the CH Virtual pilot pro Yoke & Pedals are to Gameport.

Which verison of Windows are you running?

Are your controllers connected directly to a true 15 pin game port on the PC?

Are you able to install the CH Analog Drivers correctly?

Are you then able to "Add" your Yoke in Game Controllers?

Can you then calibrate the Yoke?


Where in this list are you seeing the break down?

Hi.


I use Windows Xp pro.

My controllers are connected directly to the 15 pin gameport.
I have install the Chanlg08 driver wich I fund on CH home side and have extract this file to C:\CHdrivers, and after I open this file and extract "CH Gameport Device Drivers".

After install the files I go to Game controllers and add Virtual pilot pro... but nothing happent

I have also try Install the Drivers from the CD CH Virtual pilot pro, but it is the same the dont work´s.

And I can´t calibrate the Yoke.

Is the 15 pin port on your Sound Card or Motherboard?

[lao]

Yes... but I have update the Sound card.. beacuse the sound from PMDG was very awful, I use Creative Sound Blaster Live! Player 5.1

[MichaelCHProd]

uh...so the port you are using is in the sound card?

Is there more than one 15 pin port on your PC?

[lao]

They are only one pin 15 port on my computer, and I have uset my Yoke on these copmuter before so I can´t understand why the dont work´s now.

Problem with the SB Live series of cards is that they o not have true game ports on them. The 15-pin port son them are really midi ports and are significantly slower than a real game port. In Windows 9x with a lower version of Direct X this may not have a been an issue (although you may have gotten some spiking there) with Windows XP and it's decidedly game port unfriendly stance you are going to have to make some choices.

1. You can replace all of the pots in your controllers to possibly get the controllers to be seen for a while.

2. Buy USB controllers and get rid of your game port ones.

3. Go back to Windows 98 and enjoy it for a little while before Microsoft kills all support for it and forces you to go back to Windows XP and choice number 2.

Sounds like it could be a conflict between the gameport built onto your motherboard and the one on the soundcard, try disabling one of them either the one on the motherboard by going into the bios or disabling the one on the soundcard with a jumper setting.

[MichaelCHProd]

I think he is saying that there is only one... now. But I am not sure. Either way the SB Live is a show stopper in XP.

[lao]

I have try the UBS-Nest " Joystick Converter, but they don´t work´s at all

[MichaelCHProd]

They usually don't with our true analog game port controllers.

[lao]

Will it be better if I remove the sound card and update, and reinstall the sound card again.

[MichaelCHProd]

can't hurt

[lao]

OK.. I cross my fingers and hope it will help.

[MichaelCHProd]

Let me know how it goes. :salute:

[lao]

I will do, but I will not be able to inform you the next 10 days, I goes on hollyday.
