I'd like to use my F1Sim wheel with TOCA, but It only allows me to use
my flightstick which is installed under Win 95.

I removed the flightstick from the control panel 'game controllers',
and installed the F1Sim as the only controller. That was fine for
TOCA, but now I can't use the flightstick.

Any ideas how to have 2 or my game controllers in Win 95, and have the
games use the respective controller?

You can give each controller it's own ID, but it only recognises one
as attached, even if you remove one and attach the other.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

  No choice here, it is a fault in the Win95 Dx.  You can only have ONE
input device at any time.  All those extra buttons are useless in the
current release of DX5.  That means every time you choose the wheel or
stick you have to remove the old device.  And this goes for owners of
switch boxes as well.  the limit is in Win95...

Unfortunately, while win95 does not support multiple devices, even though
the settings are there for them. I have to go through the same thing when i
switch from my T2 to my F16 flcs w/ tqs.

Not true!

My PC has a built in Gameport (Controller 1) and a Thrustmaster ACM
Gameport (controllers 2 & 3). Its down to the application software to use
them.
FIFA98 can use all three for example, QuakeII only looks for the first
port, F1RS & TOCA (max 2 joysticks) is selectable.
This allows me to have three controllers - Joystick, Wheel & Gamepad (for
the kids)
permanently connected without swapping or messing about with re-setting up
in Game Contollers.
I find the wheel is most compatible with an adapter to convert to 2 axis
(without the adapter it uses the rudder pedals axis).

Of most surprise CPR only appears to look for a joystick on controller 1.
Following the help screens to set the default joystick to anything other
than controller 1 does not appear to work for me.
