Can anyone tell me whether you can have a USB wheel hooked up at the same
time as a non-USB joystick (i.e. will they work)? Thanks.

Yes.

Yes. And the better games will let you select which or both to use.

Apparently N3 is not one of the better ones.

I cannot get my LWFF and my homemade pedals to work in N3. Works fine in
GPL, F1RS, and even NFS which I don't consider very good.

If I'm doing something wrong please let me know.

You're not doing anything wrong. The programmers of N3 decided to take a
step backward in the evolution of input device control.

While GPL supports multiple devices, N3 does not.

Call it what you want, cutting corners, rushed "out the door" programming,
whatever....Bottom line, customer suffers.

Well, I obviously am doing something wrong. I have MS Force feedback
wheel (gameport) and MS Sidewinder Pro (USB).

Couldnt get both work at the same time in Colin McRae Rally :-(

Any ideas?

You probably aren't doing anything wrong, I have the exact same setup, and
some games just refuse to believe this is possible.

Hoping to be proved wrong

USB-Logi as ID2
gameport-joystick as ID1

works only this way for me.
