Controller profile locations ?

[FlyingTaco21]

By this i do not mean binding profiles associated with a module, but the columns in the bindings menu that are associated with a given controller. I have two of these device columns that are associated with the same physical device and wish to delete one of them, but cannot locate anything other than my saved bindings for the software modules. I have rescanned  and it did not rid me of the duplicate

You mean they are both identical? What's in your Windows device manager?

Pretty much have the same issue.  Thrustmaster TARGET combines stick and throttle into "Thrustmaster Virtual Game Controller (root)".  For some reason windows still shows "Joystick-HOTAS Warthog"  That should not be showing up.

Do you need TARGET for something?

[SGT Coyle]

It's not that there's a need for TARGET.  It's the persistent presence of a controller that should not be present.
I fond what might be the culprit though.  My TARGET GUI software got corrupted and was hinkying up my Editor process.
A quick repair sorted me.

In my Saved Games > Open Beta> Config> Input Folder I only saw modules that I may have edited the controls in settings.  Can it be that the duplicate is hiding in the settings of a module FlyingTaco hasn't edited yet?

Maybe try deleting the config folder from Saved Games.  That was always the standby procedure.

in my case DCS and MSFS seem to be seeing two exact copies of the same hardware. So It might not be a DCS issue. Both controller tabs are mapped to the same physical device.  Sorry i missed these replies.

I would say that you have an install issue.  It might be helpful to uninstall all and delete drivers.  And maybe contact Thrustmaster support and describe your issue to them.

I specifically ask because in most cases you don't need any drivers or software for the controllers beside what Windows finds itself.

[FlyingTaco21]

I do not use thrustmaster, Am using a VKB set up with the sem and THQ modules  have two duplicate input sets for the same controller. The latest  is that the DCS is confusing the Throttles for the X axis of my joystick and is not letting me bind my physical X axis to anything. Going to try to recalibrate everything before I do that, and then just try a clean install of DCS... Though I am not at all convinced the issue is DCS  since MSFS is showing two duplicates of the joystick/modules as well.

I don't think reinstalling DCS will help you. If anything you can try to refresh devices on the controls page and/or load the clean profile (you do that by temporarily renaming your \saved games\dcs\ folder).
