What happens when the bug occurs? I have two T.16000M flight sticks. One left and One Right that I use in a HOSAS setup, I have them set to left and right using the toggle switch on the bottom of each controller. The game simply sees them both as "T.16000M". In the Controls menu, I am unable to assign them as I'd like to "Flight Stick 1 Device" and "Flight Stick 2 Device". No matter what you set each controller as, once you exit the menu and go back into the menu, you will see them both set to the same device. This is massively confusing and frustrating.
What do you expect to see? I expect that I see one device assigned to "Flight Stick 1 Device" and the other assigned to "Flight Stick 2 Device"

When using two flight stick controllers (HOSAS configuration) with the same vendor name in windows 10, You are unable to select the assignment of each controller to different flight stick devices in the Controls menu. No matter how you arrange them in menu, once you exit the menu and return you will see them toggled to the same device. The game still sees them as different devices but this makes configuration very confusing and should not be broken this way.
