Re: Joystick Support

@1i1il1Your post that the game is looking for first connected device and presuming it's a controller was helpful. It turns out the game is not mapping joysticks to controllers when it presumes that the joystick IS the controller, so you have to map the joystick under custom controller instead of under joystick remappings. This means losing out on most buttons etc.

But more frustrating is that it looks like the game can see right through HidHide and completely ignores Vjoy if you're trying to combine your sticks.

This is weird because just a month ago I was using my Force Feedback 2 as a 'joystick' and the Thrustmaster 16000 as a 'joystick' and I didn't have to jump through all these hoops. Now I'm using VKB - an upgrade - and the game supports it less? It's bizarre.

    the game still does not recognize multiple-input HOTAS properly,  its missing 2 core files needed to do that.

    for my X56 RHINO HOTAS, the throttle side makes the game switch to controller mode, but the Stick side does not.
