I bought a game pad with USB interface out of curiosity.
This USB device is recognized as channel 5,6,7,8 in FMS.
The hovering of Heli becomes very easy, by just controlling the throttle or collective stick, and keep others not touched. But once I touch others,then it is easy to make over-control. Well, I think it is the nature of game pad, not USB.
I can not tell difference in response time between the game interface and USB interface. both run smoothly, thanks to the high speed CPU.
I can only use maximum 4 control channels at a time, although all 8 channels --- 4 from the game interface joystick and 4 from USB game pad -----are recognized in my computer.
I own conclusion is then :
If any one like me is interested, should make the dumy RC control with only 4 channels and USB interface, just becasue USB is available in almost all current computers and notebooks, while game port is not.
