I cannot for the life of me get IL2 to recognize my Rudder inputs

[AuburnAlumni]

I just got some new Thrustmaster Rudder Pedals to go along with my Warthog HOTAS for both IL2 and DCS.  

 

The Rudders work great in ARMA, DCS...but for some reason....IL2 won't let me assign anything to them.  It recognizes that the rudders are there..but when I go into key mapping and move the rudder pedals around...nothing gets assigned.  I even tried unmapping everything for YAW, unplugging my HOTAS and leaving the rudders in...nothing. 

 

The rudders are recognized everytime I load in...but it won't let me assign anything to them.  Any help would be appreciated.

Possible workarounds:

 

Press rudder for right side, go to Keybinds and when assignment window open release the rudder. If not detec, try with left rudder.

Or try move rudder fast several times.

Check there is no double entries in **Games\IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Moscow\data\input\DEVICES.TXT**
Should look like this, but with your part names not X55 ? ?

If your code does not appear clean or numbering is odd (like duplicates or devices on #1,2,4,5 but not 3 Backup file and let game make a new file)

Hope it helps.
Happy Ruddering.

Yeah I tried your suggestions earlier and neither worked.  So aggravating.  Pedals are working perfectly in every other game except IL2.

Bingo!  That fixed it.  Numbering was off.  I deleted the file then relaunched, now its working.  Thanks for the tip.

Late to the party, but this post saved me after hours of frustration... Turns out I had plugged in many, many peripherals over time and I had reached 11 counts of them by now. IL-2 could see my TPR pedals but they just wouldn't work in game... (I could bind the pedals in the keybinding menu, but pushing on the pedals in-game didn't do anything). I had to delete the "Devices.txt" file and restart the game, then rebind everything and tadaa!! Thanks again! o7

Same for me, found this post after an hour of trying to get vjoy to be recognised. Deleting devices.txt worked  then it was easy to manually add the rudder axis from vjoy. After checking devices to see which joy number vjoy was. Thanks for posting solution.

This doesnt work for me, deleted devices.txt and no go.

Just an FYI  

have you checked to see if any of your input files are READ only ?

If so uncheck the read only tab in the properties of each file
