How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
How severe is your issue? Can't play
What happens when the bug occurs? If you have MFD 2 plugged in then the game only sees the throttle and the rudders and binds the throttle to flight device 1 and takes control of all input. To use the mouse you have to hold down a button. If you unplug MFD 2 then the game can see joystick, throttle and rudders as 3 seperate devices (good) but can't see the useful MDF1.
What do you expect to see? I expect to see all my HID devices and bind them as I wish.
Which ship were you playing? If not applicable, just answer "no" or "none." none
What components were you using? Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS, VKB Rudder pedals, two Thrustmaster MFDs, TrackIR, two Logitech Pro Flight Switch Panels.
Which customizations (if any) were you using? none.

So, all my controller binding / missing controllers / unable to use the mouse issues are all down to having thrustmaster MFD #2 plugged in,

If I unplug MFD 2 then I get 3 controllers showing up (before it only showed the throttle as device 1 and rudders as device 2 - no stick, and the mouse wouldn't take 'active' control of the game)

and I'm able to use the mouse and bind my stick, throttle and rudders.

The MFD 1 (which has lots of useful buttons) is NOT recognised and therefore unbindable. ☹️
