Title: Use axes from multiple joysticks?
Post by: Alterscape on September 06, 2012, 08:42:06 pm

I have a Thrustmaster Cougar HOTAS (with analog rudder pedals connected to the gameport on the Cougar's stickbase). I also have a Microsoft FFB2 stick, which I prefer to use for games that support force feedback.  In most modern sims, I can configure pitch/roll on the FFB2 and yaw/throttle on the Cougar (using the throttle and rudder pedals).  Is this likely to be possible in the Inferno engine, or should I just give in and either accept the lack of force feedback, or the lack of separate throttle/rudders?

On my side i own a g940 and it is recognised as 3 different peripherals by windows!
To mix them all and allow to use it all with  freespace 2 i use the joystick remixer with ppjoy;

Ppjoy is your savior

Do you maybe have an active download link for PPJoy? I've been trying to find a trustworthy link but without any luck.

Hi, considering there's bound to be more people with this problem, I've written a short guide on setting up multiple gaming devices for use with Diaspora. I borrowed your ppjoy link, hope you don't mind :)
