        My son has expressed an interest in flight sims. Being a hard
core auto racer,I have a T2 wheel hooked up to my Diamond Stealth 3D
and Diamond Monster 3D accelerator boards.

                   Is there a way to hook up both a joystick and my T2
without having to manually unplug one and then plug the other one in.
Getting to the back of our computer isn't easy. I use the adapter that
was supplied with the T2 setup.

                  Please don't suggest purchasing a 2nd computer,it's
out of the question. My wife would kill both of us.

Thanks for the help.

        I hear talk here about a joyswitch, bit I use a low cost A-B switchbox
with no problems. I recently added a second A-B switchbox switching
between Thrustmaster T2 with adaptor and without.

Joel,

There is a product called the "JoySwitch" which I've been using for some
time now.  It allows you to switch between up to 4 joystick devices, all by
simply moving a rotating switch.  I purchased mine from Flight Sim Central,
and here is the web site for their display of the JoySwitch:

Check it out!
