Has anyone tried switching usb pedals via a switch.I have built dual control
yokes,thats ok,but what to do with the pedals? Either build dual pedals or
use two USB pedals together ?Will this work ? or will the sim only pick one set of pedals?This is why I'm thinking of switching them one to the other.

Any ideas.

thanks

I'd rather switch between potentiometer inside both rudder rather than between USB devices. But then you have to account for calibration differences. Mechanical coupling might be a better way in the long term if you really plan to use that feature often.

You should be able to do it without a switch by using FSUIPC.
