Thanks to Tepes for the following suggestions:

For those of you losing HOTAS/Rudder after Windows 10 patches, upgrades, etc...
Below is a easy way to get back in without redo all HOTAS/Rudder setup in the game:

Goodluck.

========================================
HOTAS lost profile Blitz won't recognize
========================================

Get in the game and assess the new IDs for HOTAS and Rudder.
You do this by prettending you wanna redo the mapping (for both if u have separate hardware HOTAS/Rudders) in Options/Aircraft/AXES:

Make note of both HOTAS and Rudder/Pedals new IDs.

Mine are like these:

X52_H.O.T.A.S.-61EAB111+Key22=landingflaps_u
Saitek_Pro_Flight_Rudder_Pedals-608DF333+AXE_RZ=1rudder

The numbers/IDs: 61EAB111 and 608DF333 are the ones Windows 10 changes at restarts or for other reasons I don't know.

Those are the ones u write down.

Then go in the Blitz folder:

Documents/1C SoftClub/il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover and look for your saved profile from Options/Aircraft/AXES/Save as:

Mine is called blitz1 ...therefore there is blitz1.ini ..yours maybe different.

Edit the file and change appropriately old number/IDs with new ones and save ...Voila!

Your mapped again like before and your HOTAS working again.
