We need an easy to use app or piece of hardware that would allow us to
switch from one type of control to another seamlessly. An example would
be when driving gpl with the pedals in seperate mode and then switch to
n2 which requires pedals in combined mode.
This requires deselecting one controller setup then rebooting then
selecting a different controller setup. Then in many cases you will have
to recalibrate or even reconfigure your contoller in the sim! Geez! you
should be able to simply select a different controller and start the
other sim! Not to mention joysticks and gamepads too! You would think
for the thousands of dollars we spend on "state of the art" machines
somebody would figure this out?  Of course thinking Bill Gates gives a
shit is out of the question.
JM - maybe I drive to many different sims.......
