I just upgraded from my PIII 450 Mhz to a Sony 3.0gig Pentium IIII ht
and Radion 128Meg video card and more. All that money spent, I load
up Flight Simulator 2002, get my Microsoft Sidewinder forced feedback
joystick and DUH! No connector for it! FS2002 is the ONLY thing I
need all this horsepower for, so I'm not too up on the state of the
art. Are there workable USB to game port adapters that work? If I
have to buy a new controller, what do you recommend? The CH yoke?

I prefer a joystick as most of my real flying is stick and I like the
feedback my MS Sidewinder had. Alternatives?

You should be able to find a Gameport-to-USB conversion cable "that works",
but even failing that... if you DO get another controller, there is nothing
to prevent you from getting a USB Force-Feedback Joystick, if a joystick is
what you prefer.

Logitech Force 3D, for example:
