Another control panel question: What would YOU do?

CheffoJeffo:

#1 .... it is true that someone could mess with the other sticks and mess up your game (my first cab was a 3-sided cocktail and the kids quickly learned that they could gang up and me and grab the "other" controls).

My recommended solution to that is short, swift punishment (a sound beating around the head and ears should suffice, depending on the age of the offender).

OR, you can run separate, daisy-chained ground loops to each "P1" stick and have a selector (I would envision a rotary switch) that only activates one stick at a time. For example,  the selector set to "Flight Stick" means ground loop is closed on the flight stick, but open on the other P1 sticks. Click over to "4-Way" and the ground loop on the 4-way is closed and the other two are open. Click over to "8-Way" and ... (I'm too lazy to type the rest)

Don't worry about mapping to P3 and P4.
