Yeah it's a case of adding in sensitivity to the device index but keeping the most common case (where there is no device index) compatible. I'm playing around with it now.

I feel like that guy everyone is going to point to and laugh for asking this question... But is there anything like this for xbox controllers? I've brought about half a dozen friends onto the computer version and that is what they are using with only a couple looking at getting a HOTAS later.
Not a stupid question at all. Unfortunately I don't have an XBox so don't have any idea how complicated it would be to set it up. If it's more like a PS4, with a very fixed configuration, it won't be too difficult. If it's more like a Steam Controller, where most functions are mapped through the Steam management software and you have no idea if a pad is really a pad or a mouse or a joystick or a set of buttons or... then it will be next-to impossible.
Not that I'm planning on doing it this evening but I can take a look at this some time after Christmas. Which controller do you use, and is there any significant difference between the types of XBox controller?
Okay I think that the site will now handle the situation of having multiple controllers of the same type. Give it a shot and let me know if it works for you.
I just got one of the farming simulator control panels, and it's pretty sweet - 24 pushbuttons, a scrollwheel that generates button presses when rolled forward or backwards and can be pressed as an additional button, and a 3-axis joystick that can switch modes with a button, so it's actually two three-axis sticks in one (looking at the bindings file, when the stick is in one mode ED gets Joy_XAxis/Joy_YAxis/Joy_ZAxis events and when it's in the other mode ED gets Joy_RXAxis/Joy_RYAxis/Joy_RZAxis events). Windows 10 sees it as a multi-axis HID device, and there's no special Saitek software for it so it probably works on Macs (I can't test that though, I don't own a Mac). I suspect it's going to become popular with ED owners.
The panel's ID as ED sees it is 07382218, ie this this what a fragment of the .binds file for it looks like:
Let me know what you need to add support, and I can probably supply it.

Looks like it should be possible to support. What do the two buttons on top of the stick do?
And is the big grey area above the stick a button or just decoration?

Thanks for the information. I've added it to the webpage so give it a shot and let me know how it goes.
I've put in provisional support for the XBox controller but there is something strange going on with it compared to other controllers in that it seems to have the concept of groups and activators, whereas other controllers use the idea of modifiers. If anyone is using an XBox controller please give it a shot and let me know if it looks good or, if not, how you're using the various controls that are not showing correctly.
I usually use a Warthog or CH setup and have been using your ref sheet generator to good effect, thanks. As I am on a long tedious journey back from Sag A, I decided to dig out an Xbox controller for a simpler setup for this journey. I have just tried the ref sheet generator with the Xbox controller plugged in and I am not showing any of the mappings for the Xbox controller at all, it just shows the keyboard settings. I had to make a simple mod to the bindings so that a custom file was produced for sheet generator to load.
Please could you send me the reference to your bindings file?
http://www.mcdee.net/elite/binds/uwmayq Let me know if you need the binds file and I will pop it on a dropbox download.
I wonder why noone has yet realized that the tool is currently missing pedals ? My bindings are actually completely useless without the pedal settings.

Thank you OP, awesome work! Why is it so often the community with these great ideas?
The main reason is that I haven't heard of any pedal configurations that are more complex than left/right plus a couple of other items if the pedals have toe brakes. Do you have a lot bound to your pedals?
