Not everyone will be happy with any three colors I pick. The human eye is too variable. That's why there is descriptive text as well.


I understand Joe. All I was sayin' was, perhaps that's where he was headed? Anywho...

No, I just don't like red/green text because of the most common form of colour blindness. Can't differentiate them that well. Didn't the first Battlefield have red/green identification for sides? (actually, didn't it take it one step further and keep the colours for the side, irrespective of what side you were on? Really confused me that...)

If you are going to the trouble of adding the text then is there any reason to bother with the colour at all? Or just have distinct lists... biggrin

Still good though... cheers

F1 2010 does not support multiple controllers with any of its built-in controller profiles, but can use multiple controllers if the "Custom" controller option is selected -- with the caveat that the "Custom" config has some programmibility limitations compared to the built-in profiles.

Just thought I'd recommend adding this to the list.

Air/Land Simulations
ArmA 2 - supports multiple controllers
ArmA Armed Assault - supports only a single controller
Operation Flashpoint - supports only a single controller

Jane's LB1 & LB2 only supports one controller.

Hey,you left out a couple of sims: NASCAR Racing 2003 Season supports multiple controllers; Grand Prix Legends supports multiple controllers. And flight sims: Battle of Britain II supports multiple controllers.

Descent II via DosBOX 0.74 supports 2 controllers. (combined TM Warthog as one controller)

However my "2nd" controller is the Simped-F16/USB and according to JoyToKey (Ver3.7.4 still latest see link below) the "rudder" axis is seen as Axis6 and therefore is not seen by the game. This was only found through trial-and-error only after switching to "other" tab and checking "Use Axes other than X and Y" the I have not looked any deeper than to discover Axis6 instead of the 4th DOS Axis. ie: DosBOX can see 4 axis only. The Warthog combo uses 3 axis (stick's X&Y and Thr's Y) leaving the 4th for something else. BTW, In TARGET, I disabled all axis except these including disabling the left thr.

So, I'm using JoyToKey.exe (as suggested (in general not to solve Descent's issue) from DosBOX's web site) to map the left and right bracket keys to be bank left and bank right respectively and set these keys as same in Decent II's keyboard settings. Works but not subtle at all. Always banking too much too fast. Using the CPU settings to slow it down is not the right way cause it causes the graphics to be choppy as in too many frames being skipped.

As per my testing: SimPED-F16/USB X=Right Brake; Y=Left Brake; Axis6=rudder

Falcon 4 BMS works with multiple Controllers and even recognizes the Toe-brakes on the Rudder pedals.
Tested with a Saitek X-52 and the Saitek Pro Flight rudder pedals. Win 7 64 bits.

Sadly better add battlefield 3 as supporting only Joystick #1. Needs some hacks to get pedals working.

Thanks for this list... but I actually found this thread because I was looking for a utility/application that specifically allowed you to combine multiple controller inputs into a single virtual controller. I used to have it, never could get it working correctly (was pretty buggy/difficult to setup), and now I've forgotten the name of it. I'm looking now in the hopes that it has improved, as I'm about to toss the flightstick portion of my Saitek x52 Pro in the garbage and replace it with a simple Logitech 3D Extreme Pro and keep the Saitek Throttle.

Anyone know the app I'm referring to? My google-foo is failing this evening.
