Wheel/pedals and Joystick

I had an old home made one that worked fine (now it's my son's), but just a couple of weeks ago I got one from CH. I actually bought it at www.necx.com but I saw it listed for a few bucks more at www.ebworld.com . It switches automatically, just pull the trigger or hit the shifter, and it comes with software to make the switching so simple that my son does it quick and easy, I don't have much of a problem with it either. By the way, necx's price was 21.95 plus shipping (which I don't pay because my friend tags it on to his shipments). Hope this helps. BTW it works with a MS sidewinder pro in digital mode (contrary to what the ad says).

Joystick switchers at www.chproducts.com probably and www.thrustmaster.com fer sure. Holding out for USB wheels and pedals myself... "Ed White" sez:

Rick, I want to ask you 2 questions about the switcher... Do you reboot after changing controllers?? which you use, 95 or 98 might have more... not sure about the nospam etc in address...

You should never have to rebbot when switching controllers. This is true even without a fancy switcher. >Rick, >I want to ask you 2 questions about the switcher... >Do you reboot after changing controllers??
