Hello, I am an avid gamer that enjoys many types of games, including flight simulation and sim racing for which I have hardware for. I also have an Xbox gamepad for other types of games. I have multiple devices plugged in like joystick, rudder pedals, throttle quadrant as well as the Xbox controller, I unplug my sim racing wheel & pedals when not racing.
The problem I'm having is that some games that I need the gamepad for, they often seem to recognize one of my flight simulation devices and won't recognize the gamepad. Like one game I was just trying to configure my gamepad with, recognized my joystick as my control device. I have tried going to Devices and Printers > Game controller settings > Advanced and selecting the gamepad as the preferred device but this rarely seems to work for me. I mostly only have this problem in games that I buy from Epic or GOG, in Steam, usually disabling Steam Inputs often fixes the problem.
Is there any kind of solutions to fix this problem?
I know I could just unplug everything besides the gamepad but this is a huge hassle for me because some of the flight simulators I use (I use many different civil and combat flight sims as well as space flight sims) will make me have to rebind all of my controls when I plug them back in. Also, I switch between games often, for example in one day I will do a flight in a simulator, play a game that requires the gamepad, then do another flight and afterwards, swich back to playing a different game so unplugging everything all the time is not a solution for me.
I would greatly apprecate any advice,
Thanks
