5 joysticks
 

Hello all, is there a way to get more than 4 joysticks to work?

You could try PPJoy. I have no first hand experience, but supposedly you can use a virtual joystick to combine multiple devices into one. Note that this will most likely stop any type of manufacturer macro software from working.

DirectInput also has a limit of 128 buttons, four points of view(POV) hats and 8 axes per (virtual)joystick.
IL2 itself may have a limit lower than this.

Just curious .. Why would you need more than 5 joysticks ...

thanks I'll give it a try.

I don't need more than 5 joysticks, I need exactly 5.

1.ch fighterstick
2.pedals
3.throttle
4.trim wheel
5.prop,mix,rad (saitek quadrant)

for now I'm living without the last one but I use it it other sims like ROF and CLoD

Thanks Artist, now I just need to figure out how it works, so far I'm unable to get it to do anything in game,S!

Did you read the manual I spent days writing? :grin:

If you got a tablet, you could give this a try:

Does not solve his problem: He has got five Game Controllers (as I do) and IL-2 recognizes only the first four. Touchpilot adds another (virtual) Game Controller, which would be number six and will not be recognized by IL-2 as well.

Thanks a million, added [devicelink] port=3333 to my conf.ini and it's working great:grin:

I think IL2 will see it as one controller. When you install this, you get trim, throttle, prop, flaps, mixture,... in one big virtual controller
.

Anyway, he got it working so problem solved.

Got another one for you guys, how do I change the ID#'s on the controllers, I want to put the trim wheel as the last one and use yedeli to add the trim wheel so I can get radiator control on the quadrant and hopefully mixture when it comes out in 4.12, Thanks

There's a tool, JoyIds, out there, with which you can move the game controllers around (id wise) - but that does not help with IL-2, and God knows I've tried... Only when I reinstalled Windows and took great care in what order I inserted the usb-plugs into the sockets, l got the controllers in a different order in IL-2.

Thanks Artist, wish there was an easier way, think I'll just keep what I got with yedeli.
