Can i use 2 joysticks with FSX?

[Artificialaviator]

Hi

Im in the process of building a 2 seater cockpit for FSX. I was wondering if i could have one joystick on each side of the cockpit like you see on the a320. or will it center when i try to turn with one of the joysticks.


Thanks

greetings captain.........
if you use FSUIPC to assign and calibrate your joysticks, what you want is possible.
if you have two axes assigned to one control (i.e. aileron, elevator etc), FSUIPC will
arbirate between the assigned axes and only act on the axis giving the greater input.
i have two control yokes and two sets of rudders set up like this and FSUIPC only
actually reads the yoke or rudder i am using.
hope that helps you out ......
have a great day and regards from wales ... ian

p.s. if you do assign/calibrate in FSUIPC, just make sure that the assignments in the
FSX menu have been deleted or you will end up getting 'cross controls' where both
FSUIPC & FSX are competeing for the axis iput.

Ian, so you recommend we use FSUIPC to control/calibrate our controls instead of using FS's? Even if just using 1 set of rudder pedals and 1 yoke?
