Help, connecting two joysticks in FSX.

Hi everybody,
I'm new to the forums and have a question, I hope this is the correct section. I have two joysticks, one of which I took apart in the hope that I could use it to make a device for trimming aircraft in FSX. I connected both joysticks, the problem is that I can only choose one or the other, if I attempt to set functions from the second joystick it will say for example "The X axis has already been assigned to pitch control". So it appears as though I have two X axes, two Y axes and two Z axes. Is there any way to overcome this problem without having to pay for some kind of software? Any help is appreciated, Thanks.

Hi! Are both joysticks listed in Control panel\game devises?

Are they connected via a usb hub?

Have you tried assigning the axis through fsuipc?

You can't connect 2 identical joysticks to FSX. If they are identical then you have to use fsuipc to do the assignment.

Thanks for the replies:)

It sounds like I will need to get FSUIPC, thanks again for the help.
