Only Thrustmaster products.

You can try join different controllers in one virtual with PPjoy.
Is PITA to configure but maybe overcome IL-2 limitations.

Windows 7/64 version: http://ppjoy.blogspot.com/2009/11/fi...w-version.html

I was going to suggest PP joy.. Other than that there is no way around it..

Can't get PPJoy to install on my Win 7-64. Together with numerous others despite following the instructions to the letter.

I'll live without it.

Thanks a lot!

As far as I can read from the Howtos (thanks again!), it does create a virtual device by mixing controls from real devices (which *is* great!) - and therefore is still limited to a 8 axes, 16 buttons (why not 32? different story...). So it does not allow getting all the 16 axes and 64 buttons of two BU0836As into the range of Il-2 when a G940 occupies the first three places...

The TARGET software from Thrustmaster has probably the same limitations (because, I guess, these are in fact Windows' limitations), so it's my fault: The question was wrong...

The only way out I see, is a software, with which axes can be mapped to DeviceLink funtions (similiar to MultiThrottle by MikkOwl). I am working on that, right now.

I'd love to, but both are not available in DeviceLink. The moment Team Daidalos makes them accessible via Device Link, I'll make an update of YaDeLi.

We've to lobby for it
