Personally I think the problem stems from ThrustMaster and Windows. If the MFDs had a decent software, and showed up as extra keyboards rather than as Windows game controllers - or could be combined a la CH gear - then the ability to run MFDs and a throttle, stick and pedals setup wouldn't be compromised.
After all - Naturalpoint manages to avoid this restriction although, strictly speaking, TrackIR is a game controller in that it takes over from the coolie-hat.

Did you know that if you're using Win7, you can just reassign the game controller number.

How do you do that?

Sorry, very late reply - you go into game controllers under control panel - hang on, I'd best check: Yes, easiest way in is to hit the windows key then type in 'game'. In the start menu which flips up, you should see 'set up usb game controllers' - bounce in there and have a fiddle.

Better late than never - thanks a lot!
