USB wheel and non-USB stick--can they coexist?

8 posts by 8 people · 21 Sep 1999 - 24 Sep 1999

Can anyone tell me whether you can have a USB wheel hooked up at the same time as a non-USB joystick (i.e. will they work)? Thanks. Ken

Yes. And the better games will let you select which or both to use.

Apparently N3 is not one of the better ones. I cannot get my LWFF and my homemade pedals to work in N3. Works fine in GPL, F1RS, and even NFS which I don't consider very good. If I'm doing something wrong please let me know. Dave.

You're not doing anything wrong. The programmers of N3 decided to take a step backward in the evolution of input device control. While GPL supports multiple devices, N3 does not. Call it what you want, cutting corners, rushed "out the door" programming, whatever....Bottom line, customer suffers.

> You're not doing anything wrong.... Well, I obviously am doing something wrong. I have MS Force feedback wheel (gameport) and MS Sidewinder Pro (USB). Couldnt get both work at the same time in Colin McRae Rally :-( Any ideas? -- Harri "If I were any lazier, Surfers Paradise I'd slip into a coma." http://www.netsonic.fi/~harrijv/ - Garfield -

You probably aren't doing anything wrong, I have the exact same setup, and some games just refuse to believe this is possible. Hoping to be proved wrong Steve

USB-Logi as ID2 gameport-joystick as ID1 works only this way for me. Jens On Tue, 21 Sep 1999 12:40:03 -0400, "Kenneth M.
