SL doesn't recognize my Joystick

i got my thrustmaster t.flight hotas x today, and reinstalled my beloved starlancer, but when i went to the trainingmission, i noticed, that SL doesn't recognize any input of my joystick at all ...

anyone here who can help me with my problem?

if you mean the controll settings, where you can choose to use a joystick or keyboard only, then yes .. it is activated ingame

the drivers are properly installed. with every other game i tried so far my stick works as it should. but then again IL2,HAWX and DSO are all newer than SL ..

my system is win7 ultimate 64 and i have 2 other devices plugged in to my pc, a logitech gamepad and and an arcade fightstick for beat em ups, none of them are recognized by SL.

here you are:

Device Name: T.Flight Hotas X
Attached: 1
Controller ID: 0x0
Vendor/Product ID: 0x044F, 0xB108
FF Driver: n/a

the stick is plug & play and the driver is from microsoft

well that's comforting :p

starlancer is one of my all time favourite games, and i really was looking forward to play it again
that sucks

nope i didn't but i'll try that now

edit: the game doesn't even start in win 98 compatibility mode .. the splash screen shows up as usual, but then the process is killed without an error.

i run the game as admin, i even disabled my firewall but nothing changed.

eidt 2: I've got it to work now ..

for anyone who comes across the same problem, if you have multiple controllers attached to your pc, Starlancer will most likely have problems finding the right controller and therefore won't use any of them.

you have to unplug all gamecontrollers except the one you'll be using for SL and restart your pc. after that your joystick will work as it should in SL.

thanks to anyone who tried to help me.
