Sorry, I had my comment written and it showed I submitted but never went through I guess. Yeah, I kind of figured that'd be how it works even when creating the same flash image. Absolutely, I'll be following this best practice by assigning letters to respective controllers and changing them as needed! How can I go about doing this? Stuff seems to be slowing down so I'd love to try this out, or if you have any links to resources that'd be greatly appreciated. Love the support and work that y'all are doing, keep it up!!👏

I have multiple computers running all the same hardware/joysticks, but when I create an image backup and restore to a different computer, the issue that arises is after I run Prepar3D some of the devices get assigned different GUIDs in the .ini file. I have assigned letters in the past(which I prefer), but after running P3D (since they have different GUIDs) I will always get the “missing joystick” error in my .ini file. Which can be fixed by manually editing the .ini file but can get cumbersome doing so on each computer. So I resort to using numbers only. Really, I just wanted to know if it’s possible to change the GUID in the registry to keep the same GUID for multiple computers and continue to use letters in my situation. Separate question: can I also change the order of the [joynames] section in the .ini file when only assigned numbers? For example: 0=joystick, 1=throttle, 2=pedals to 0=pedals, 1=joystick, 2=throttles

Sorry for reviving this thread…but how could I go about this, I’ve been wanting to change registry on mine but have searched for guids and keep getting stumped…is there a way you can point me to change in registry?
