use two TrackIR units

Is it possible to use two TrackIR units and switch between them both with a USB switch?

I want to set up a flight simulator trainer with dual controls and two TrackIRs, one for the Instructor, and one for the Student. When the Instructor is flying, his trackIR and controls are active. The instructor can then push the USB switcher to activate the student's controls and TracKIR. Please see the diagram at http://www.kcsimpilots.com/images/USB_h ... rackIR.jpg

I think this would be possible since version 3.00 that added hot-plug USB support.
Please let me know if this will work, if not please consider it a feature request. Thanks a bunch!!

Hello:

This is a good idea, nice picture. It might work, just not sure as we haven't tried it. You can now hot plug a TrackIR with 3.0 software and up, so that shouldn't be a problem. Give it a shot and let us know.
