chris,

Welcome to both SimV and to the Homebuild Cockpits Forum.  You've found where the real addicts hang out  Wink .

YES...you can have multiple keyboards.....but NO.... you can not assign separate keys that are the same on each one.

But that should not be an issue...... there are more than enough keys.

I have a regular ps2 keyboard attached to the fs computer which sits at my work desk.  I haver anotehr usb keyboard located in the simpit that is also connected to the same computer.  Whichever one you hit.... you get whatever key you press.

Also somewhere in this forum is a thread on a way to interface something other than a momentary switch into a "hacked" keyboard....... if you are interested.

Hope this is of help.

best,

.................john

where else is that. im sure one is close to enough cus i dont want a big old setup so u know. but i feel ill still need more. i just dont want to have to learn code. i know theres the ones that are prebuilt that have like 20 switches and lights but for 200 bucks not worth it on my budget. is there like plug and play type cards out there that u just hook up the switches? also i want a bigger screen.i want quality but i dont need much. i saw this thing that's an art projector with a 5 by 5" area that it projects it's a 100 watts. someone said u can put an lcd screen or a really small monitor in it and it'll project it up to like 4 by 4' witch is maybe to big for me but as it gets smaller its pixel rate increases and ill probably use only 3 by 3'. whats your input?
