I have both a TSW and an LWFF. In most sims, I use the LWFF along with the TSW pedals. However, there are sims where, in order to get FF effects, the LWFF has to be on ID 2 (mainly Papy sims), and others where it has to be on ID1 (mainly GP3). This applies when having 2 controllers active in Control Panel. I presently make the ID swap in Control Panel, but it's an annoyance. Is there an easier way to swap assigned controller ID's? Maybe some little software miracle? If not, is there a controller setting whereby both the papy sims and GP3 can run with the same "mixed controller" setup, and still have FF active? Thanks. -- Bert

Bert, Try CH's Quick Joy. It should work for most types of joysticks. ftp://ftp.chproducts.com/pub/QJsetup.exe or http://www.chproducts.com/support/pc/index.html "BRH" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Thanks. I'll give that a shot. (Downloading now...) Les Marton wrote:
