The gameport version of the CH Pro Pedals (what you probably want IF you want the CH brand) also uses the same type of setup but looks like you also need a second gameport (maybe) as it has another cable coming off of it labeled "AUX port". Or maybe that is only needed if you are using a gameport that only supports 2-axis 2-buttons per port?
Also... the Joystick should plug into the throttle, then the throttle to the pedals, and then the pedals into the gameport.
because I just played around with them yesterday, for flying planes you'd probably want both gameports on the pedals if you want to use the brakes as they seem to be on the second connector, so the aux cable of the pedal is looped around into it's own extension (that's how I received them) and if you unplug it the brakes will stop working, so if you don't need brakes you could plug a joystick in there instead... but I guess the whole point of this setup is to get the full experience ^^ so no, no extra gameport on there but still only needs one in total.
normal game port only 2 joysticks with 2 axes each, so as the rudders have 3 they need to use both connections on a single gameport.
...that sentence was a mess, I hope that was understandable ^^
I hope this makes it more clear...
but yeah, I'd be interested in how to fully set up all of them in detail ^^
I only recently got the Force FX so I now have all parts basically.
