Help d/dual joysticks?

Jun 30, 2007 dewey link
I am trying to setup an Extreme 3D for RH and an Attack for LH.

the problem I am finding is the joystick setup doesn't distinguish between the same buttons on the two joysticks.

I am on a Macbook, Tiger.

That's really weird. I've been running that config forever without problems. Email me at mjankor@hotmail.com and I'll send you my config file, which you can tweak as needed. If you're trying to use the same setup I posted a while back (I don't think my setup has changed much since then) then you could almost just do a direct replacement. I'll remove my hails and other stuff first. :D

Maybe also try plugging both joysticks into separate USB ports?
Are you on Mac or Windows?
Does the system report both joysticks ("About this Mac" -> "More Info" on a Mac)?

Thanks Martin, I believe your post was what caught my eye for dual stick setups.

VO detects both sticks in the Joystick config just fine so that's where I start setting up the axes for each, which works great. It's the button assignment that is a problem.

I am on a macbook, running 10.4.x. I have the sticks in separate ports.]

I'll email you separately about the config file.

Martin, I got your config via email and it works perfectly. The controls are a little touchy but I don't mind re-learning how to fly. Thanks a bunch.

Beautiful. That's good to hear. See you in game. :D
