They are fine. But the buttons are tied to old
AT keyboard method and needed a DOS driver. So
they are totally useless. The Rockfire USB
adapater does NOT 100% convert the combo
completely!! The hatswitch of the FCS will
not work if WCS is attached.
As the old FCS is working fine. I think I
only need the new USB Hotas TWCS Throttle.
