Joystick/Throttle/Pedals not recognized

[FS~Noonan]

I have the same problem, and agree with Wulf...it seems to be a 64-bit Windows issue. That is the only common denominator among everyone with the problem who has posted their specs. I will also post this in the bugs section.

Mine:
Saitek Aviator
Saitek Throttle Quadrent
CH Rudder Pedals
*************
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
Asus P5KC
Intel Q6600
8 GB DDR2
Palit GTX 460

I've had the same problems but got over the axis issue by deleting the default j/stick settings, all fine, did nothing to the con.ini at all, BUT, none of the buttons are working on j/s, also cannot close canopy on spit on k/board.
i am still on XP sp3 Dx9, so it seems it's right across the board of users
irrespective of whatever system we are using. Back to the drawing board.

Not sure if this is the issue or not but might be something to check. In IL2:1946 there was a limit of 4 joystick devices that the game would recognize. If you had more than that it would only recognize the first 4. The work around is to force the devices you want to use into the first 4. The reason I know this is I have 5 devices; stick, throttle, 2 mfds, and pedals. I had to give up one in the game. Like I said I don't know if COD has this limitation since I don't have it yet but it may be worth checking it out.

Nope, you can use as many USB devices as you want in Il-2, and likewise in CoD.

I only have 3 devices anyway. Joystick, Throttle, and pedals.
I do have a collective I built for Blackshark, but it remains unplugged if I am not flying as the cord gets in the way.

This is definitely an issue within this game that the devs are going to have to straighten out. I hope they have it fixed before the American release or they are going to have a lot more people pissed.

i have a Microsoft sidewinder (that works fine in il2 1986, wings of prey and rise
and don't recognize in il2 cliffs of Dover, only buttons.

this is my conf.ini

I can't even get three USB devices to work, viz. my CH HOTAS. I have managed to enable the X, Y and Z axes on the Fighterstick (Elevator, Aileron and Throttle) but I am unable to get my rudder pedals recognised, nor the further three axes which I use for trims, based on a third CH PCB.

I'm in the same boat I can get axes INGAME depending on what .ini I load, but trying to use CH mapped mode, or trying to assign the axes using the controls section, clicking on axes etc, SIMPLY DOES NOT WORK, I believe it to be a Win7 64 bit/COD problem, rather than my controllers which all work perfectly in 46.
