Ok, I posted earlier on the joyswitch, but I have another question, I have the Nascar Pro wheel, a gamepad, and a joystick, and I want to connect them all.....how do I get it so I just flip the switch and they are all connected, I have the propanel, but only theone that is on ID 1 works, the other two are on ID 2 and 3, I have to flip the switch and put ehcontol on Id 1 to get it to work, is there any way to get around this, or did I waste 40 dollars on the joyswitch......thanks, and Merry the day after Christmas!!! Nate Henderson,

Hey Nate, I've got the joyswitch and a T2. As far as I know, you must only have one driver in DX5 working at any time. So even if you do change the switch for your gamepad or wheel, you still have to choose the proper driver under DX5. I have a control panel for DX5(looks like a fat yellow X in a black circle) I go there first and remove whatever old driver I had connected, then add the proper one for ...say my T2. then if I really want to be precise, I go to the TM propanel and calibrate the wheel there. And of course, you can try the CTFJ utility that centers the joysticks after all your calibration is done. This isn't so much a Joyswitch problem as a logic problem with DX5. We 'should' be able to just go to the control panel and press button #1 for our Wheels, button #2 for our sticks, button #3 for gamepads etc....maybe in DX12.... dave henrie

I found that I do not need to recalibrate. I have "Formula T2" setup for my T2 and "3 axis, 2 button" setup for my F22-Pro/TQS/RCS. I just remove one & add the other. The important thing is the device that W95 uses is ID #1. I believe you can switch the joyswitch, do the add/remove & play. You may have to reboot though. -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes.
