Thrustmaster F22 + F16TQS & USB

| Hello flyers,
Recently, for the first time in several years I felt the urge to play
some games / sims.
I dug out and de-dusted my old, trusty set of Thrustmaster
F22/SW-Digital + F16TQS. The problem is that im meanwhile my machine
has no Gameport.
Would a Digitaly updated F22 work fully with Gameport->USB converters
or should I get an addon Gameport card?
A Cougar surely looks sweet but since I am not a hardcore gamer
anymore I can hardly justify the investment 
Kind Regards
Kirill

Before you decide to buy something, check if your motherboard doesn't
have a gameport connector. If so, for a few bucks you can buy the
extender so you can connect your F22....
Cheers!

No. The signals that the stick sends won't go through the converter at
all.

That's about all you can do (except that there aren't any gameport
cards<g> ). You need to find a soundcard that's got a gameport on it
and use that. On some of them, you can disable the sound card portion
if you like the sound you've got, then it essentially becomes just a
gameport.
Also, be sure and check the motherboard manufacturer as Remco
suggests. In some cases, the chipset does have a gameport, it's just
not really brought out to the rear panel. Usually it just takes some
sort of cable, the manufacturer should be able to tell you.
Best regards,
