Split axis to Single Converter...

Wouldn't it be possible for somone to right a program (TSR???)  that
sits in
mem and intercept the signals from the joystic  (pedals)  and instead of

sending Y1 for throttle and Z1  (is this right???)  brake  it intercepts
Z1..
and changes it to Y2 or something..  basically taking the split axis
brake
signals and changing them to single axis...

Isn't this possible????

Waiting with interest...

        G'day, Mate!  I doubt it'd be very useful.  The joystick's
input to the computer is only along a single axis.  The software would
have to not only interpret the input, but determine its direction (gas
= Y+; brake = Y-).  I'd think that would be too much overhead, since
it would have to continually poll the joystick.

Irrelevant to what been written below is a "mechanical"
way of doing it:
