can you tell me is the usb/serial connector recognised by your pc?
To find out follow thes steps, go to start-settings- control panel-performance and maint( or system depending on your view settings) -hardware-device manager-
once you have this manager screen open look down the list for PORTS and left click on the plus sign this will then tell you what usb port number you have pluged into, ( you do have the controller pluged in don't you??) now make a note of that port number and which port you have the cable in so it's the same next time.
now in the simulator software open the control tab-resources and set the port to the nymber you made a note of above, set the baud rate to 9600 and click ok, now try the mapping as in the instructions that came with the
control and software.
hope this helps
