add joystick

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. Joel Willstein

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. Jim Treber

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: http://www.fscentral.com/fsc/joyswit.html Check it out! -- Paul My "reply" e-mail address has been changed to deter spammers.
