Hello,

I am using the Teensy 3.5 as the controller for my custom joystick.

For this I am using the USB type: Flight Sim + Joystick

The first prototype worked well but when I ordered a second AND third Teensy board, the same USB type no longer works.

Same code/USB type still works on my first Teensy board but not on my other two.

To solve the problem I select USB type: Keyboard + Mouse + Joystick

Uninstalling / re-installing everything produces the same results.

To be a bit more clear, this is what happens when I try to use USB type: Flight Sim + Joystick on the latest Teensy boards.

- The code compiles without any errors.
- Windows detects "Teensy Flight Sim Controls" and it appears in "Devices and Printers"
- When I open "Teensy Flight Sim Controls" Properties, nothing shows up in the test page
- Same results on different OS and different computer

With the original Teensy board when I open "Teensy Flight Sim Controls" Properties, I am able to see the axis and buttons so I can test them and make sure everything works correctly.

Stating the obvious, my end user software doesn't recognize the joystick when this problem is occuring.

If I load USB type: Keyboard + Mouse + Joystick, windows detects everything and I can use my joystick but its loaded as a keyboard in devices and printers and I need to select the joystick from a drop down menu which is not as "nice"

I really do not understand what is going on.

Am I using a counterfeit Teensy?
Did something change from an older Teensy revision to this newer one?
Does the library need to be amended to make it work using Flight Sim Control + Joystick?

Cheers,
E.
 
Figured it out and thought I would share with everyone.

There is no problem with the USB type. I tested it in 2 different computers originally that had already used my original Teensy 3.5 joystick.

When I tested it on a third pc it worked no problem.

I then had to erase all traces of the original teensy 3.5 Joystick on the other 2 computers and it worked fine.

Its a bit annoying to have to do this but I guess it is what it is.
 
I have seen notes to that affect - have to change some version info of the USB presented for it to see it as a new device.
 
I just go in the registry and delete the joystick instance. Its a bit annoying though since I could be selling this to a client and send a replacement and the client end up having these issues...
