So today I bought SW:S and it appears that it can only see my HOTAS THROTTLE.. So I have to fly the whole game with only the throttle.. It also sees my steering wheel and odd arduino HID-s that I hav...

@keem85m Okay, this has been repeated many times in many threads.

The game can't handle more than 4 HID controllers at the same time - and 3 tends to be the common maximum.

You have to physically unplug EVERYTHING else that isn't your keyboard, stick, throttle and rudders.

I had to buy a 10 port switchable USB Hub as all my other flight sim equipment for DCS and FS2020/X-Plane, break SW:S.

@Elphaba Aren't they gonna fix this? I wouldn't know because I just purchased it. I have a lot of usb periphals and can't disconnect them on demand

  @keem85mHow would I know? The fact that they never saw / tested for any of this before release, and then have been utterly radio silent on every other major problem and then this week they release a new patch with no notes yet contained a significant fix for VR users, then I would guess not. But who knows.
  
  They're obviously inexperienced console only devs who have tried to do something on PC and it's just a mess. I wish they're actually reached out more.
  
  But the above works 100%, and then if you have rudders that aren't ever seen, I posted a fix for that (VKB, but if other brand then VJoy + Joystick Gremlin work)

    Ahh that was you who posted that? So SW doesn't see one axis hid controllers? I actually didn't quite understand the guide, or where to assign dummy axis. I have the vkb rudder myself and would love to have it work also. What was that prograb you had pictured? Sorry for weird sentences im writing from within vr
