It became very evident that not having peddles for FS9 is dettrimental to actualy flying, as I found out today during my first lesson.

Building the peddles won't be hard a problem. The thing I can't work out is how to connect them to my computer.

I found out the hard way that FS9 doesn't like two joysticks plug into the usb ports at the same time. The sim starts acting strange.

So how would I go about connecting a set of homebrew peddles made from a second joystick? Any ideas please.

P.S. I using the Saitek X45 stick right now.

stevewilson,

Yeah..... pedals make flying WAY easier.

When you tried to connect two joysticks to the same usb ports....... did you reconfigure the axis assignments for each stick? �That may be your problem.

Commercial yokes and pedals and such are just seen as multiple "joysticks" on the usb buss. �In the settings screen of the sim.... you can assign EACH joystick's buttons and axis assignments to a particular fuinction.

I can have my pedals, my yoke, and my ff joystick all on the usb buss at the same time with NO problems whatsoever (along with a bunch of Goflight modules). �All are active and working fine.

best,

I'll have to try it again and do the reconfigureing of the axis.

What happened was I had removed my logiteck extream 3D and installed my saitec x45 and programed the axis to it, then a friend of mine who uses the 3D was over and I just pluged it back in.

That messed everything up so bad I ended up doing a complete reinstall of FS9.
