Thrustmaster Flt Control System

Excellent photos and instruction. Very clear. Yes that is very much like my old pedals. I am good with tools but no experience with this so How do you then set up pedals in the programs like IL-2 and MSFS ? Thanks.

Just like another controller (joystick, pedal, throttle...)

In game GUI select the desired function, ie rudder, them move the pedal. Done.

Modern games recognize various controllers up to 16 (Windows limit) - only IL-2 1946 is limited to four.

I went ahead and ordered a usb - gameport convertor from Amazon for about half of what I could get the BU0836 for, which seemed like overkill for just getting a single axis rudder pedal to work. Reviews were pretty good keeping in mind that some people would have trouble operating a wooden toothpick correctly.

One guy returned a flight control stick and throttle set cause he couldn't figure out where to plug the cable from the throttle... "my computer doesn't have a matching socket.." Gee I wonder what this socket on the back of the stick base is for ?

Remember if all else fails RTFM

Edit: The adaptor arrived from Amazon and has four mode positions on the switch, each referring to a different combination of axis and buttons. My computer recognized I had another controller plugged in after I connected the pedals via the adaptor. But no matter what I tried I could not get a good calibration and the rudder was always over to the left when "neutral" and no better then at center when fully pressed right. I will try it with my old complete Thrustmaster FCS System when I get a chance just to see how that functions.
