Buttonbox/Controller - key binding in menu works, but didn´t do anything in cockpit

[Tom25briklebritt]

I need your help. I got an Blackhog b-explorer controller (https://www.black-hog.com/product/b-explorer-04/).
In game I can map the buttons and axis in the key binding menu to any function in the plane. Game detect the controller as Joy12. But when sitting in the plane, no button and no axis are working. This happens only with this controller. My HOTAS works fine. Windows detect it as "Joystick v2.04" controller in Gamecontroller. Here it works perfect. Can you please help - it works in game menu when binding keys, but not in the plane!??

 

These problems are only with IL2. In DCS or other games, the controller works without problems

"joy12" means that you have 13 controllers (joy, throttle, pedal, quadrant, trackIr...) - game start count with "joy0", but accord of some players with multiple controllers game limit is 8.

 

Just in case do a exclusive test:

Rename the file "devices.txt" in \Data\input folder.

Leave only the black-hog plugged, assign some buttons - e.g. cockpit lights and test.

Thanks! It was the limit. I changed "joy12" to "joy4" and everything is working. There were a lot of old devices in the "devices.txt"
