Yes John, in answer to your question you can add a second USB device and map differant functions to the buttons. At one point I had a joy pad and joystick attached. Problem was I couldn't remember what the various buttons were supposed to do and I had to let go of the joystick (primary flight control) to grab the joy pad.

Is there a way to link 2 identicle sticks, 2 throttles and 2 sets of rudder pedals to the same pc to create a co-pilot position for a cockpit project, or would I have to network the two positions with 2 PCs? This is probably a dumb question. Thanx
Thanks for your time John. If I were to link 2 force feedback sticks using usb ports as you described, does that mean they will each perform their "feedback" motions simultaneously? I do not want that to happen.
Before you go off screaming at me I would Like to tell you that I did read "Topic: dual sticks, throttles and rudders" and my question is different.
I would like to use the now not obsolete original Wingman and my now "replacement" sick for my "broken" friend of the same brand.
I realized I could fix the rudder problem and now I will have 2 joysticks...If I manage to fix the first.
WHat I would like to do is plug both joysticks at the same time to use in FS not as a CO-pilot thing as mentioned before but more as "extra buttons." THe thing is if I plug both at the same time, both joysticks have the same button assingnment. (eg. If I push either stick foreward, it will move the elevator) what I would like to do is push one stick foreward to move the elevator and one back to do something else, Like trim or something. Maybe like a program or some kind of tweak.
Anyone know of a way I could do that, or if it can be done what would be a good combination. Maybe one controls the plane while the other stick controls the gear flaps and trip. I know its unrealistic but that would kick @$$ kinda like controlling a robor... in a way
ok thanks I didn't know they had diffrent assignments on fs9. THe stick is still in my attick and I havent checked it yet. I'll try it as soon as I can
Thanks
