Is anyone aware of a device or system that would allow me to switch from a T2 to Joystick without having to plug and unplug. I use Nascar2 probably 70% of the time, but it sure would be nice to throw a switch and use the joystick for other things? Thanks Jack

Called a Joyswitch. Got mine from FlightSim.com for about $40. Well worth it. I habe a FLCS/TQS, Nascar Pro Wheel, CH VPP/ProPedals, and two Sidewinder Game Pads connected. >>Is anyone aware of a device or system that would allow me to switch from a >>T2 to Joystick without having to plug and unplug.

I have a joyswitch as well. I love it and got it from EggHead Computer. What I haven't figured out is how Win 95 works with switching joysticks. I have to set the switches and reboot. After the reboot I go into control panel and redefine the joystick. This is a pain in the butt. Is there a faster way? Am I missing something? Thanks, Doug

Well, you sure don't have to reboot every time you switch controllers. Just switch it, and go into the Game Controllers (if you have DX5 installed) and make sure it's picked up the device you're using. It depends on the controller...it will automatically pick up MS joysticks like the 3D Pro or MS Sidewinder, but for steering wheels and stuff you might have to choose it from the list. -- Neil Yeatman Ajax, Ontario, CANADA
