Thrustmaster F22 and TQS
Salim Qadri
Hi,
I would like to buy the F22 and TQS joystick and throttle to play
EF2000 and Longbow. My Microshaft joystick just does'nt cut it.
I would like to know if I need two separate game ports for the F22 and
the TQS, and if I need to hook up my keyboard to the joystick so that
it can send key sequences to the game.
I have a PS2 style keyboard, so I am concerned if I need to hook up a
keyboard to the joystick.
Thanks in advance.
Salim
Pls change email address if replying. Thanks

No you don't. The units daisy-chain together so that you only need one
joystick port.

If I recall, there were PS2 adaptors that came with the unit. I'm not 100%
sure however so hopefully somebody will be better able to answer that question.

No, you only need one gameport. This one has to be a dual-port one,
i.e. one that supports two standard joysticks (via Y-cable). All
soundcards today should have a dual port one, as well as TM's ACM
gamecard. The F22 plug into the TQS, and the TQS plugs into the
gameport. Also, your mouse plugs into the TQS, and the TQS into the
mouse port on your PC (but you don't need to do so).

The F-22 has no PS2 style connector, but TM will sent you a pair of
adapters for a PS 2 keyboard.
For the mouse, there are PS2 adapters included with the TQS.

Nope, one 15-pin connector will do - and you can still add rudder pedals too.

Yes you will, and you can call ThrustMaster at 503-615-3238 and ask John to
send you a set of PS/2 adapters for the F-22 Pro - he'll take care of that.
Should not be a problem.
