I would like to buy a Thrustmaster Formula T2 steering wheel/pedal combo
in Spokane, Washington or through mail order. Where can I find the best
price? It seems that Circuit City had a great price (approx. $100) on
them but I have never seen a store by that name.

We have Egghead here but their price is $129.00. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Joel Robinson

Just a note to tell people who have a driving and flying setup that the
joyswitch is a must. I have the full thrustmaster flying setup.
(Wcmk2,Pfcs,Rudder.) and the T-1 driving set. I run all these into a
joyswitch and from the switch to an ACM card. They work great and no more
trying to get to the back of my computer to change the plugs. It cost
about 40 bucks and can be found at most mail order sites. I now can go
from a driving to air combat in less time then it takes to change right
side ***..

I have had my Joyswitch for over a year now and it has made my
life alot easier. This is well worth having.

Is it nothing more than an A/B switch box for joysticks or what?
What's the name of the company where you got yours? thanks in advance.

It's a switchbox that allows you to switch between up to 4
joysticks, and 2 foot controllers. The cost is about $40, and
you can get it from Egghead software or Flight Sim Central.
FSC can be reached at: (800)477-7467.

Personally, I use a 15 conductor Macintosh monitor extension cable to
provide me with an easy way to switch my joysticks easily and quickly
without having to try and dig behind the computer.

Joyswitch lets you switch between 4 joystick controllers (joystick,
gamepad, flightstick, steering wheel, whatever you can plug into the
gameport) and 2 rudder/foot controllers.

It's one handy unit. I've got an ECC (wheel and pedals), FLCS, MS
Sidewinder 3D Pro, and two gamepads through a Y-cable connected to the
joystick port. I have a CH Pro Pedals on the foot controller port.

Do you turn the power to your computer off before switching between sticks?
