[simpits-tech] Falcon 4.0 with motion sim

[Ken Trager]

Volker

Thank you Thank you - I have the Rock N Ride system I brought here in the USA and have
never got it to work. I was about to throw it away and then I saw your posting and went to
there website and got a file to run with FS2K. Still have no doc's and I do not know what the
switches are for on the card but hopefully you can tell me what they are for!

I guess the card hooks up to the PC serial port and it runs from there?

Let me dig out all the components and hook it up. The support here in the USA is nothing
I brought the system without the car and no manuals.

Thanks

Ken Trager
