Title: Duel Stick Works in AH?
Post by: Hobo on March 14, 2000, 08:35:00 PM

I rad or heard something about AH accepting inputs from two different devices.  Is this true?  If so, can I use my Logitech Wingman Extreme Digital 3d USB stick with my CH Pro Throttle?  

Using this setup in WB's it works fine EXCEPT that the Pro Throttle doesn't work for throttle.  Buttons work (KB pass through) but the stick still controls the throttle.  Can I make it work with AH?

Thanks for the help!

Nevermind.  Figured this one out on my own.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Well...Here's how I did it. First, my Wingman Extreme 3d is plugged into the USB port.  However, if you have a Y-cable I'm guess it would work with both being plugged into the gameport.  Also, if you use a PDPI card you might be able to plug stick into port 1 and throttle into port 2 and get it to work.  Anyway, here's how I did it.


1) Extremem 3d plugged into USB port and set up in the joystick applet as device #1.

2) CH Pro Throttle plugged into SB Live gameport and selected it as device #2 in the joystick applet. NOTE: To make Win98 recognize the throttle I had to plug an old stick into the throttle.

In my case I plugged my old original Sidewinder 3d into the throttle.  Then I set it to work like a CH Combatstick.  Then in the applet I chose "CH Combatstick" and calibrated everything, including the Pro Throttle.

Then in the AH setup screen under "joystick" I allowed everything to be used by the Extreme 3d...with the exception of the throttle.  I selected "throttle" and then "mapped" it to joystcik number 2 (CH Combatstick).  All works great offline.  Can't wait to get online.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
