Assign functions within FSUIPC which allows you to select actions, ie: do this when push do that when release, repeat, etc..
With FSUIPC you can also program "On" with first push "off" with second push which mimics a toggle
Not ideal but can help you to interface a lot of things.
Thanks Jackpilot. Yes that was my initial plan to use 2 joysticks (one's actually a pad) and use momentary switches. But I decided i wanted a "little" more reality to the switches, i.e. for lights etc, so i guess making it a little more technical but not too expensive. So between 2 of the joysticks i should get some extra "realism". Not sure if i can use 2 USB keyboards - my standard one and the spare stripped for the interface. Only one way to find out
