Ive got a full HOTAS (HandsOn Throttle And Stick)set-up consisting of thrustmasters old F-16 stick and throttle with the RCS rudders. I updated the chips in these a few years back to the "Bob Church" versions which brought the sticks upto Win 2000/XP standard along with the Stickworks F22 drivers. So basically I have a fully functioning HOTAS system thats recognised in windows control panel as a multibutton/multiaxis joystick rig. This works perfectly fine in every flight sim I have including more recently release ones like Pacific Fighters. Its a real shame then that JtLS seems to ignore this setup even though its in my windows control panel and greys out my option for joystick Is it because it uses the old gameport style of connection?

I have a cheap usb convertion cable for a Playstation 2 joypad and which when plugged in JtLS recognises! Its totally unplayable with the pad though. IIm very annoyed that im being forced to use keyboard and mouse when I have a perfectly good and working HOTAS arrangement. Can the devs please sort this one out, surely if the joystick is recognised and working in the windows control panel it should work in game !

Anyone else with a similar set-up?

I want to use my Simped Rudder Pedals (actually i want to use 3 different Controllers at the same time) but i cant because JtL recognizes only one gamecontroller. Funny: if i try to use the Simpeds i can assign joyrot3 by using the Simpeds in the Options menu, but it doesnt work ingame -the joystick twist does even if i assigned joyrot3 by using the simped (so the game recognizes the simpeds but not the corresponding ID).

Dear Devs, have you ever heard about Controller IDs?
