Using 'Multi Controllers'

[Buzz03]

Hi,

Just wondering if anybody has done this, and if they had any issues?

I love the throttle set up on the X52, but the joystick is complete pants, spring too light, inaccuracy which makes you look like a complete idiot in formation flying etc..
However i hear that the CH Products Fighterstick Joystick is the 'bees knees' and very accurate. Can i combine the two? Do you agree with my estimations so far ref both the Saitek and the CH Products stuff?

Cheers!

The game will support whatever the maximum number of controllers DirectInput will allow.  I think that is 16, at the moment.

Buzz, that is a very common thing for people to do.  They start off with an X52 setup, usually due to price (which I agree has an awesome throttle setup), but then either the stick wears out or they want more precision out of it, and given the higher price of CH products, opt to only buy the stick, retaining the X52 Throttle.

And for the record, yes Aces High will work just fine with it, and you don't even have to keep the X52 stick plugged in.
