Find another way to handle USB controllers.....

[SvAF/F16_Goblin]

For the love of everything...

Please find another way to handle USB controllers! Windows has once again rearranged my controllers and thus all bindings in IL-2 is all over the place and has to be redone.

Other software can handle this without hassle so why cannot IL-2?

You may only have to correct the devices.txt file.

 

In game go into Key Mapping.  Find a blank square on the right side of one of the settings.  Press a button on one of your devices (throttle/joystick/etc.) and note the number, e.g.  joy3_b1.  Note down the device and the corresponding number (joy3).  Press a button for each device and note it.  Cancel out of Key Mapping.

 

Open the data\input\ folder and make a copy of the devices.txt file.

 

Open devices.txt.  You'll see something like the following.

 

configId,guid,model|

0,%22732763e0-67bd-11e6-0000545345440180%22,MFG%20Crosswind%20V2|

1,%228da8c430-c0ed-11e8-0000545345440280%22,vJoy%20Device|

2,%22c521a3c0-67b0-11e6-0000545345440280%22,Logitech%20G13%20Joystick|

4,%2246b78200-0660-11ea-0000545345440380%22,VPC-Throttle|

3,%225c179db0-7fc1-11ec-0000545345440180%22,VPC%20MT50%20Flightstick

 

Find each of your devices and change the number at the beginning of the line to the number you just noted in Key Mapping.

 

Save the file.  The game should now recognize your devices correctly.
