I have been using the CH Products Yoke and Rudder (gameport) for several years and have been very pleased with the performance. I am currently using them with FSX without any problems.

You ask for suggestions but do not state whether you are having problems assigning the buttons or if you are asking if anyone else uses the Gameport.

Here are my current settings. However please keep in mind that I am also using two other devices.

1. Views
2. Reverse Thrust
3. Look Back
4. Flaps decrease
5. Brakes
6. Flaps increase
7. Trim up
8. Trim down
9. Panel
10. Trim down

I have the following assignments for my other two devices.
Ignition
ATC
Spot View
Save Flight
Zoom in
Zoom out
Prop low
Prop high
Shift Z
Auto Pilot
Landing Gear
Knee Board
Water Rudder
Tail Wheel
Wing Level
Carb rich
Push back

Please let us know if you have any specific questions. Cool

Thanks for the reply skipperdan

The problem is the toe brakes do not work ! I am running fs2004
When I calibrate yoke and pedals I am missing the u & v axis which I assume are left + right toe brakes !
According to the intructions supplied the spare plug (marked ,aux port) connector is for the toe brakes ?
If I install another sound card with game port & plug the aux port into this will I get my u & v axis or will everything conflict and cause
a- damage to my computer
b- damage to the yoke & pedals
c- damage to my life !

I have currently assigned button 2 to the brakes !
Its not super imperative that I get them working but it would be nice to add that little bit more realism which is what its all about ! isnt it ?

I am at home right now on my lunch break and I have a meeting tonight at the airport. However, my CH Products Rudders (GamePort) do not come with Toe Brakes. Instead, I have assigned a switch on my Yoke to the Brakes (left and right at the same time). Cool
