heyFor a while i've had two joysticks. I originally bought the Thrustmaster Flight Control Package which included a joystick, throtle quadrant, and rudder pedals.however, the throtle quadrant didn't work with XP, which is what I had. So when I rang up and complained, they sent me out a brand new THrustmaster Afterburner (an even better jostick and throttle :D) which was much nicer than the old one, and let me keep the old one. However the problem was that without the old jostick installed the Rudder pedals wouldn't work.After going withou the rudder pedals for a year or so i finally decided I wanted to use them so I plugged them back in along with my old joystick, and left the jostick down behind my tower out of the way since I was going to keep on using it. But now, when I load up FS, it will only take control commands from my old stick, take throttle commands from my regular throttle but allows me to press buttons on my newer stick. And my pedals don't work either - they'll only let me go left but won't do anything when I go right. :(Can someone please help me:1) keep my old jostick installed but have my newer jostick do all the work2) help me get my rudder pedals workingThanks for your help :D

Only two views in 8 hours :(This must be a more complicated issue than I thought! ;)Anyone?Cheers :D~Liam

Depending on if you have FS2002 or FS2004, rename FS2002.cfg to FS2002.OLD or FS9.cfg to FS9.OLD. Make sure both joysticks are attached.Restart FS200X, let it stabilize to the Create a Flight Screen, select Settings, Assignments, and check that both joysticks are listed in the Joystick Type box. Use the downarrow to see both sticks. If both sticks are listed, you will need to select/deselect the buttons, axes, etc. so that only one joystick effects that function.If only one joystick is present, you have other problems.Once you have the settings for your joysticks set, I recommend opening FS2002.cfg/FS9.cfg and placing LOCKED=1 in each of the joystick sections, Main/Slew:[JOYSTICK_MAIN {BFFADA20-FBB8-11D5-8001-444553540000}]LOCKED=1W.
