This problem affects both XP10 and XP11 in my iMac with El Capitan.
I have a Logitec Attack 3 joystick to control roll, pitch and throttle and another same model joystick that I disassembled to use its electronics to build myself a pedal set assigned to control yaw. They both work perfectly, but there is a very annoying problem: X-Plane randomly assigns the joysticks to the two created configurations every time the application is started. So, often both joystick configurations are reversed. To restore the assignments, I have to either reconfigure and recalibrate the joysticks or restart X-Plane hoping this time joysticks will be correctly assigned to their configurations.
On the joystick configuration pane, both devices have identical names (Logitec Attack 3). I thought of giving each a distinctive name to try to fix the problem, but I haven't found the way to do it in the UI. I am reluctant to mess around with the joystick configuration files, so I haven't tried that.
The About This Mac's System Configuration pane shows both sticks with the same name and product ID and with different USB location IDs.
So, my question is: Is there a way to simultaneously use two or more joysticks of the same brand and model without having X-Plane randomly assigning each one to the wrong configuration every time the application is launched?
Thank you.
