Mech Warrior 4 stuff

I just installed MechWarrior 4 for the first time in a long time.  I have two almost identical joysticks, but I can't figure out how to use both at once - there is a drop-down selector menu to select the -one- joystick the game with use.  Does anyone know if it's even possible to use both, maybe with a mod or patch?

Are there any other games that would work well with both sticks?

what about key to joy problem with that its hard to use the axises

I was just checking around the Living Legends site, and it doesn't seem like they're going to add support for dual sticks either.  Someone mentioned hearing about getting the computer to recognize two sticks as a single, eight-axis stick.

Oh well.  Steel Battalion 2, maybe.
