TOCA - Two controllers with Win 95

4 posts by 4 people · 11 Jan 1998 - 12 Jan 1998

I'd like to use my F1Sim wheel with TOCA, but It only allows me to use my flightstick which is installed under Win 95. I removed the flightstick from the control panel 'game controllers', and installed the F1Sim as the only controller. That was fine for TOCA, but now I can't use the flightstick. Any ideas how to have 2 or my game controllers in Win 95, and have the games use the respective controller? You can give each controller it's own ID, but it only recognises one as attached, even if you remove one and attach the other. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. -- To reply, remove nosmeg from e-mail address.

No choice here, it is a fault in the Win95 Dx. You can only have ONE input device at any time. All those extra buttons are useless in the current release of DX5. That means every time you choose the wheel or stick you have to remove the old device. And this goes for owners of switch boxes as well. the limit is in Win95... dave henrie

Unfortunately, while win95 does not support multiple devices, even though the settings are there for them. I have to go through the same thing when i switch from my T2 to my F16 flcs w/ tqs. -- Don Burnette I-65 Racing Dburn on Ten
Not true! My PC has a built in Gameport (Controller 1) and a Thrustmaster ACM Gameport (controllers 2 & 3). Its down to the application software to use them. FIFA98 can use all three for example, QuakeII only looks for the first port, F1RS & TOCA (max 2 joysticks) is selectable. This allows me to have three controllers - Joystick, Wheel & Gamepad (for the kids) permanently connected without swapping or messing about with re-setting up in Game Contollers. I find the wheel is most compatible with an adapter to convert to 2 axis (without the adapter it uses the rudder pedals axis). Of most surprise CPR only appears to look for a joystick on controller 1. Following the help screens to set the default joystick to anything other than controller 1 does not appear to work for me.
