Logitech X-56 locking up game in key mapping.

[Strewth]

I was hoping someone may be able to assist. I have recently upgraded from a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro to a Logitech X-56 HOTAS.
It works great on Elite Dangerous and maps any function I choose so far. But when trying to use it in IL-2 Box, I end up with a frustrating situation.
When starting the game, I get that the X-56 has been recognised and would I like to maintain the original joystick settings. I does not matter if I accept or decline, the axis and buttons are not recognised. If I go into key mapping, everything old and existing like throttle quadrants and rudder pedals works and maps fine, right up until I try to map anything on the X-52. It just freezes the screen and the only way out is to press "Esc" and return to key mapping. Total freeze of game every time I try. I have tried time and time again, with only joystick instead of full HOTAS, with joystick in various USB slots. And I cannot change what is happening. If I remove the X-56 and plug my old Extreme 3D pro back in, it maps and works fine. But the moment I go back to the X-52 all is crud again.

Thanks in advance.

Well. For anyone interested, after hours upon hours over the last 3 days and nights, exhausting every single recommendation from across the web, I ended up uninstalling and reinstalling IL-2 completely.
It recognised the X-56 setup straight away and now I am going through a whole process of key mapping, OpenXR and other alterations again.

Cheers.
