Lost joystick input from 2/3 devices

[Fabo.sk]

I've finally received my Winwing MCDU after months of waiting. So I connected it and installed the software. I am not sure it is relevant, but I presume it is, as I didn't do any other changes.

 

Now FSUIPC is not recognizing inputs from 2/3 of my devices.

 

I have seen some mentioned of wrong JoyIDs stuff and was able to mess around with JoyID tool to make it sort of work... but it's maybe worth a note that this kind of thing does still happen.

It can happen if windows assigns the same ID to multiple devices, and also if/when the GUID of a device changes. Usually when this happens you can remove the current registry entries and let windows re-assign new ones, then change the id-to-letter mapping in the FSUIPC7.ini file (if needed). You can sometimes also use JoyId tools to just change the id mapping in the registry.

I don't understand why the same id is assigned when adding a new device though, and FSUIPC also uses the GUID to determine which entry matches, so I am not sure what happened in your case without seeing your log and ini files.
