Does anyone know if MS has any plans for USB versions of their FF stick & wheel? Their none FF models now are available as such - would have thought this would be the perfect answer to 'joystick switching'.

I would have though so too. But I have an MS FF wheel, and a USB MS Sidewinder joystick, and I have to uninstall the joystick from Control Panel, or GPL gets all confused. Called MS tech support, and was told "sorry, that's the way its is." Regards, Krabby

Unfortunately, I doubt it. MS has settled on using the Midi signals of the Joystick port to control it's Force-Feedback. While it works, you can see where this could cause problems as far as changes like this... -Larry
