Game doesn't see anything on Winwing Orion2 / F16 (Solved)

[JG1_Vonrd]

IL2 Great Battles doesn't recognize any buttons or Axis on the Orion / F16. DCS works perfectly. Windows sees it fine. I've been searching through pretty much everything and tried the following. I've set it in SimAppPro to 4x32... no joy. I've deleted the "devices.txt" in IL2 / data/ input and restarted both game and PC... no joy. The stick is plugged directly into the motherboard. This shit shouldn't be this hard. Any help?

I was just about to do a complete reinstall of IL2 when I remembered that I had "JoyIDs" installed. Its an app to reassign the joystick numbers that Windows assigns. Since I had so many new peripherals (and Windows still had the old / replaced joysticks, etc. numbers assigned, my new stick was way down on the list and IL2 has a limited number of peripherals that it will see. I deleted the old ones and reassigned numbers to lower ones and the game now see's the new stick.
