Hello, I found your website through the x-plane.org forums (though I'm a MS Flight Simmer fan 
) and when I read through the info on your site regarding the Xinterface I thought this would be the answer to my dilemma.
I have a set of CH Products rudder pedals which are of the non-USB type, which consequently aren't particularly useful on a Win7 64bit OS and also not having any serial ports. I've tried a couple of different 15-pin to USB adapters, but they simply don't work. The Rockfire one works for the CH Pro joystick, but the hat switch doesn't function. So it too is really useless.
To cut a long story short, I then had the idea of using the circuit board from a USB joystick and replacing the internals of the pedals with that. I've never attempted this sort of thing before, but I'm sure I could work it out, eventually. But then recently I found a link to your site and it would seem that the Xinterface would do the job nicely.
I have a couple of questions I hope you can help me with;
Would it be possible to have fully functioning USB rudder pedals with toe brakes by swapping out the circuit board with the Xinterface? The old pedals didn't have toe brakes though, I think they were only available with the USB pedals.
Also would it be possible to use the Xinterface to bring life back to the CH Pro joystick transforming it from a 15-pin to a USB?
Your help is greatly appreciated, thank you.
Regards,
Alan
