Joystick Gremlin and two Sticks.
Hey all, I've got a problem with this game and my HOSAS set up. I'm using XWA to teach myself how to use Joystick Gremlin, but it seems the game just refuses to see any changes I make to the vJoy controller.

The way the game sees it is that on my left joystick (the one I usually bind my lateral movements and throttling to) and completely ignoring my right joystick, and no matter what I do, I cannot remap the axis movements to the right joystick, even when the vJoy device itself can see my axis being on the right stick, it's just defaulting everything to the left stick, and I know this because I even set up a COMPLETELY blank profile onto the vJoy controller and mapped ONLY the Pitch, Yaw and Roll to it, none of my other buttons do anything or trigger anything on the vJoy device or keyboard.

And yet when I launch XWA, making sure that I have the vJoy device set as the joystick it should read from, I can only control my craft with the left joystick, and can do stuff like using my triggers to shoot or my hat to virtually look around my craft.

It's doing my head in, but I have no idea at what point of the process I'm failing, the vJoy device is set up exactly how I have it, but the game just ignores the fact that it should be reading from the vJoy device and instead just takes inputs from my flight stick. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The sticks I'm using are Thrustmaster T16000's in the Left and Right configurations.

Alright I found the solution on Reddit, because of the game's age, I needed to use a program called JoyID to make sure that the vJoy device was the first in the devices list. For anyone in the future, the tool can be found here:
