Pretty sure they know about and will fix later according to Yogi Klatt

SC constantly changes / adds / deletes new functions and then remaps everything. It is part of the attraction & experience of SC.

Some people use Joystick Gremlin in an effort to alleviate some of this, but, that seems like even more work to me, a simple filthy casual. Plus, why miss all the agony fun?

I always have a copy of my bindings file on my desktop so I can drag and drop and avoid having to rebind my settings.

This been a problem since 2.x SC is using windows order of USB to lock a device to function, that mean once windows is restarted that change.
In SC it is joystick one/two/three etc etc.. that is locked to windows USB 1/2/3 etc.. but windows scramble the order around every time it restart..
If your stick was first in windows list it relate to SC joystick one but if it later is like for me sometime Thrustmaster MFD is windows USB one..
Yeah then in SC my MFD is joystick one... like it's not even joystick ..

All game I use USB connected devices like Racing wheel, joysticks, rudder pedals etc. etc. etc.. they use the device ID/name so what USB port is in the computer don't matter.
The game lock functions you set to the device ID/name not what USB port it is ....
I pointed this out about many, many times... but they persist using this old style game engines way to identify USB port number as the ID..

Which most games stop using when win 10 was released as the function in win where you can reorder usb devices is taken out from win 10.
So only way to change order in windows is to remove device in win setting then unplug them and then put them back in the order you need them to be for SC and keybindings is unchanged.
But if SC identify the USB device ID/name and lock that to the keybinding it don't matter where the device is connected.. this is what they need to fix..

I just got tired of redo my keybinding so I just use M/K for the moment and I am not happy with that...
Yes third party program can fix this easy.. but that is not the case here.. any other game I use have no problem with this..

Nof rant .. ha ha CHEERS!

This 100% this i started with Hosas t16000s and grabbed someones preconfiged file - have been using it with minor adjustment since
yes its abit of a pain but atleast its not encrypted and trash with every patch.. they could've done that. glad they didn't

You can also replace the JSx in the conrols xml with a text editor. So if JS1 becomes JS3 for some reason just replace all and reload the xml using PP_(cant remember) in the console.
Since I aquired a powered USB hub I never had this problem anymore though

Yeah that's what I did to power controlled USB hub where each outlet have a power switch, which make it fairly easy to reorder to match your SC keybindings..
Altho I gotten a bit tired of doing that to even if that is a less than one minute fix..
When pretty much the most lame pointless game that don't even need controls for the game get it right for controls
it is just frustrating and irritating that a game in 2020 that does benefit from using USB devices have not this down from the start....
ha ha ha...
