Options Axis/Key Controller number missing @ v5.1

Post by williguido »

Hi,

For one or the other reason Windows 10 scrambled my game controller ID # numbers.
Therefore I must reassign Flight1's GTN and G600 .._keyboard.ini files to the new panels ID #.
Flight1 uses the P3D numbers at Options > Control > Axis/Key > Controller window. These number are not equal to the Windows game controller ID # (displayed at FSUIPC).
Unfortunately v5.1 does not show these numbers any more, as at v4.x and v5.0 @ Options > Control > Axis/Key > Controller window.
The controllers are now alphabetically ordered but missing the important part: the numbers.
Is there a way to find out the controller numbering? At the .xml key/switch assignment file I could not find it.

Thanks for feedback to fix my issue.

@ williguido ,

Do you have a standard flight sim installation or a home cockpit setup?

When you go to e.g., Axes/assignments, can you select SHOW/number ?

Q: Home Cockpit? Not really, it is something in between.
It is a setup with a rack of avionic controls for GA VFR/IFR-flight training.

Sorry for the delayed answer to your second part. I had to start-up P3D.
