I run into a problem with multiple input devices.
I have a HOTAS setup.
Joystick
First problem
The settings interface shows something like Joy xx for a button on the joystick.
The number of buttons per device is very limited. There is no way to assign more then 32 buttons per device. I own a VIPRIL throttle that defines 84 buttons. Anything after button 32 will be ignored.
I have a way around using vJoy and Joystick Gremmlin, but that's not the idea of it.
Third problem
While there is a lot of settings for axis, it's hard to figure out if a axis need to be inverted or not. It's endles forward backward hopping in the settings page. And for that the design of the setting is a bit boring. It's just grinding.
Would it be possible to simple add something to test te axis right on the settings screen? To test inversion and deadzone? This goes for any axis.
Options
Would it be possible to make the settings more usable? Some settings might be toggled and switched (hold), others not. For example silent runing is switchable, landing gear and lights not.
There might be reason for a setup with a just-button-interface (in the sense to use silent runing as long as key is pressed), but there are devices with switches. So a hold option would make such switches more usable. Switch to gear down sounds great.

First problem

- It's a button, not a joy.
- It shows Joy 1 for a button on joystick 1 as for a button on joystick 2 (or joystick n, for that). Is it realy that tricky to put a name for the device on it? The XML holds one. Even cryptic hex numbers for unknow devs are better then now. There is screen space enough. I mean, is it that uncommon to play with HOTAS + rudder pedal?
