"I've got a Thrusmaster NASCAR Charger 2 (wheel) and a Gravis joystick.

I tested the wheel with Live For Speed and NDFMW. I had to set the adapter to the game pad setting just to get the pedals to work, also the paddle shifters.

In LFS the pedals worked fine, once I got the game calibrated, but I don't use the paddle shifters at all, unless I wanted to set 1 to handbrake and what's the point in that.

However in NFSMW again I had to set the adapter to gamepad setting and then the petals showed up but acted like buttons, so no matter how softly I pressed the gas it was full on, same for the break. The paddle shifters was even more strange; one was seen as a button while the other was seen as Y Axis.

I only have 1 flight game still installed, Air Conflict. I had been having problems getting this game to see my gameport joystick to start with. Sadly even with this adapter no matter what setting I used it still would not work.

GTASA started to see the joystick just fine, but after reloading the save game it then had a mind of it's own."

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
