Hello all. I just bought MS Flight Sim X Deluxe. I have an older
Sidewinder joystick that I would like to use with it. Problem is the
stick is an older model that plugged in to a sound card. My new system
does not have the female plug for this card. Is there any way to convert
an older model sidewinder to a USB plug?

There are adapters available, however, they support particular joysticks
only and they do not suppport all the features like Force Feedback etc.

I have a newer model sidewinder, also, but the older one worked better.

You might be better off when purchasing a new and suitable Joystick.
