Force Axes on Separate FFB Devices?

I see that FSforce supports multiple FFB joysticks. Question: Can the elevator and aileron axes be assigned to different joysticks and still get feedback on both axes?

Thanks,

Pat Dotson

Hi Pat,

No, sorry. All forces go to one joystick.

Is it technically feasible to send force signals to two different sticks?

Yes, that's not a problem. DirectX allows you to retrieve a handle to any joystick that's attached, and you use that handle when sending forces.

Just curious, under what kind of scenario would you use a separate joystick for ailerons and elevator?

Russ,

Can I contact you by phone or email to discuss further?

Thanks,
