Hi Indi- - First: Thanks for the update on this! From purely the curiosity of a developer: Which portions? From my point of view (Not knowing your requirements/desires/etc, nor knowing the X-Plane plugin SDK/whatnot): The goal is to uniquely identify a device. (Or uniquely enough) and swap the X-Plane controls from using joy button SAVEDDEV BTN/AXIS to CURRENTDEV BTN/AXIS - Does X-Plane provide the # of Axes and buttons at start? (My yoke has 5 axes, 16 buttons. Pedals 3 axes, 0 buttons). Wouldn't this be unique enough for the majority of people? - Linux provides 'lsusb', OS-X provides 'system_profiler' - Both can get USB device names, identifiers, and probably joystick position/ordering (0 1 2 3, etc). This can be a way to get around the low level by using other apps that do the job? Like I imagine most of the others who desire this functionality have, I have neither a dedicated machine, nor the space near enough to the computer to put the yoke+pedals+flight switch panel (Thanks, Sandy!) when not in use - It's the closet for them when it's not flight time. Other devices and joysticks swapping in and out all the time, etc. But I do feel stupid, now: I think I'll buy a USB hub dedicated to the yoke+pedals+usb, and store it on the shelf with them plugged in - That should ensure identical ordering as long as I disconnect other joys first.
