Joystick Help

[Marder1972]

I'm needing help getting a joystick to work with IL-2

I am running Ver 4.11.1 on a win7 64bit hp and I am trying to hook up either a Saitex x45 or an XboX Ace-Edge joystick. Both are detected by windows and the game does detect them during installation but they do not work once the game is installed and patched.

here is some of the config.ini

Silly question.... did you assigned the axes throught the controls menu after install???

[Marder1972]

It's not finding the joystick at all. I'm not able to make any changes..

My X52 wont work unless I disable my Logitech hand controller in device manager

[Marder1972]

Nothing I disable in control panel will allow the joystick to work......

Try unplugging all of your usb devicevs besides the joystick. Then start the game and see what happens.

If the joystick appears as an usb gamecontroller in the Windows "gamecontroller" configuration panel but *not* within IL-2, then *count* your usb gamecontrollers (in the "gamecontroller" configuration panel): If there are more than four, the source of your problem is that IL-2 only recognizes the first four gamecontrollers (and ignores number 5 - infinity). You'd have to use YaDeLi, then.
