Joystick/Throttle/Pedals not recognized

[emtguf]

I have seen this several times pop up in the forum, and I am on of the victims of this as well.
I am using Warthog Hotas and Saitek pedals. The game will not pick up their axis or their buttons when I try to assign.
Window pops up and nothing. I can assign keyboard commands when the boxes pop up but nothing from any of the controllers.

Win 7 64bit
Controllers work in every other flight sim I use a-10, black shark, fsx...
I have also tried opening the windows control panel joystick setup when I go to assign axis in the game. In the control panel axis is moving correctly, The game however will not pick it up.

I know the devs are busy but I wish they woudl comment on some of the issues that are around right now.
Not very happy that I bought this and all I have been able to do so far is stare at the control setup screen for several days.

This is indeed strange. I've the same setup and mine works fine without any problems. Do you use a TARGET script? I do.

S!

TM Warthog working fine here. Started CoD and went to controls setup. There chose Axes and just in case assigned them again. Same with keys. Delete duplicates or similar. I do not us TARGET.

I do not use target. Considering how many people are having the exact same problem but with different controllers I am thinking it is somthing inth way the game sees the controllers.

I had kind of the same problem here. I have Saitek X-52, Saitek Pc-Dash 2 and Saitek rudder pedals and none of them were recognized by the game.

I finally had to manually edit values for the joystick in "conf.ini" in order to make it work.

In my case X52 and Hotas control are "joystick1" in conf.ini, rudder pedals are "joystick2" and Saitek PC Dash-2 is "joystick". You just have to test different combinations till you hit the key.

You can also try to unplug the pedals, run the game and see if the game recognizes the warthog. If so, configure the axis and the keys, then close the game, plug the pedals back, and run the game again to see if it does recognize both devices now.

I hope it helps.

I had the same problem. I made a IL2 COD profile and just added a few of the weapon commands. Started the script and ran it combined. Added the axes in the game. Exited game and stopped TARGET from running combined. Restarted the game and stick/pedals/throttle was recognized. The game recognized the correct axes without me entering them.

I am using the same sitck and pedals and no problem with the game detecting the hardware.

You guys do realise there is a separate pane to assign axis to flight controls right? At the top of the screen click on the word axis and assign them there, the first set of windows is for button/keyboard input.

Yes.... everyone who can read knows this, since the window says axis.

So you made a target profile with a few buttons assigned. Once you ran it the game recognized the Axis?
