ISSUE DESCRIPTION
Description of the issue:
Vjoy device disappeared with SU5 Beta. Till last night the previously done vjoy assignments worked even when device is no more visible on controllers. But this stopped working today. The assignments no longer work.
Also, two Tobii devices are now on list. I don’t own a single Tobii.

Vjoy is 2ndary control bind for cameras. Then in spad.next I can set vjoy buttons to activate those camera controls with a streamdeck. It is the easiest way when you use the streamdecks for other things (aircraft controls and functions).
The same thing is happening to me. Vjoy disappeared and two new devices appeared, Tobii_1 and Tobii_2. The associations that were on Vjoy are now on Tobii_1. Tobii_2 has no associations.
I really believe this bug is tied to the behavior of this bug before it:
They need to figure out how/why Tobii is being “coupled” to vJoy and get them separated and treated as independent entities.
What is working against us, is vJoy being an outdated (and by outdated I mean when was it last updated?) tech that isn’t technically supported by the sim. Unfortunately, for many of us there isn’t a viable alternative for what we are using it for.
Actually this has nothing to do with vJoy. vJoy worked perfectly with SU4. It’s just representation of a joystick, like any other generic USB controller or generic button-box. What’s troubling here is that the controller assignments UI is so bad, that it cannot even make a difference between one device and another, and this Tobii business is clearly interfering with this. vJoy should just be treated as any other controller, and it’s used by many flight simmers. Braking this for the final release is an absolute no no.
It, unfortunately, does. Only because of this statement:
My point was due to this — sure there isn’t anything, necessarily, wrong with vJoy, but because MS/Asobo see it as “not an officially supported project” they may not put any effort into figuring out what is going on here. Worse, they may lay the blame on it as the issue.
