Joystick ?

Postby Jakemaster » Fri Dec 02, 2005 4:29 pm

I was wondering If I can plug in two joysticks at the same time.  Right now I use the CH yoke, but when I fly certain planes, or helis, It would be better to have a joystic.  I have a Sidewinder Pro, and so I was wondering If I could plug it in to another port (I have a whole bunch of USB ports), and then set up ms so that I can switch between the two.  My biggest concern is that everytime I switch, will I have to change the settings?

Well I may well be wrong here:

I think if you have two plugged in, just calibrate them both and then just switch between them in FS.

Should work fine... as for controls, just setup two different profiles - one for each stick.

Thanks, thats what I thought.  Now my only problem (nothing can be done about it) is that I still have to unscrew and move the big yoke out the way  ::)

Don't see a problem there. I know some people use the pedals off racing wheels and their joysticks together.
