My joystick suddenly stoped working in CLOD...

[Anders_And]

WTF?! This is not a patch issue however...
Suddenly CLOD does not react to either my rudder pedals or joystick. I have double checked and they both work fine in IL2 1946 and ROF so they still do work...
I had a launcher CTD (first time ever) and since then i dont have any joystick in the game.
I cleared the cache and i have even reverted back to previous patch bust still no joystick! :/
Never had this issue in the game before.
In the game settings the ailerons, rudder and elevator are all set to use the stick but NOTHING happens when i move the stick, throttle or rudder pedals...
the is no input shown and no output...

Has anyone had this?! what can i do???
