FSX and FS9 controls config

[EVVFCX]

Hi all,

I take my laptop to work and have  a fly at dinner time on fsx and fs9.
I even keep a joystick at work.
The joystick I have at home is new and not used yet, I suspect button naming is different between the 2 ( not checked)

I can't see a reason not to have 2 fs9.cfg for each joystick and controls.xml for fsx.

Anybody please reply if they think I can have 2 setups and a simple batch file to swap between one joystick and the other.

regards


Steve.

I think you can just make the assignments for the new joystick to the default file. I believe others do that, for instance, to swap between a joystick and yoke.

The sims accept multiple input devices (which each have a unique ID) and keeps their assignments in seperate sections.

When the sim starts is 'sees' the current device(s) and uses the assignments for that device.
