I use a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro flight stick, always have, amazing controller. I've played KSP on and off for ages yet every time I come back to play, I run into this same issue but this time I cannot seem to solve it.
In the settings under the input tab, when I try to map the pitch, roll, and yaw axis, no matter what I do, I cannot get the changes I've made to each axis, to apply and save. Rather there is already a pre existing joystick input mapped to each axis from when I first recently played the game, from when I first installed the game onto my new PC, the other day. Now when I map the new inputs, I notice the "number" of the joystick axis changes from "Current Assignment: Joy0.3" to "Current Assignment: Joy0.1" noting that both Joy 0.3 and 0.1 are the same axis input (forward on the stick)... I hit "Accept" then apply the changes, then I go back to remap those axis to see if the changes saved, only to find that my newly mapped input "Joy0.1" has not saved to the axis and the "Current Assignment" has returned to " Joy0.3", which now seems to be the default. I can clear the assignment to "none" but when I return to check the button I just cleared, even after hitting Apply, it has returned to Joy0.3. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling on steam, I've tried deleting the settings.cfg file and no matter what I do I cannot change/save the newly default "joy0.3" to any new joystick input. Ultimately, I cannot get any "in-game" response from any of the axis on the joystick, obviously. All the other buttons I've mapped work fine. I've also noticed that each different USB input I try, the "Joy:XX" number increases and I have also found that I should use the same USB port as per another thread. I did not use the same USB port since the problem began after I unplugged the flight stick and plugged it back in the next day...
Windows 10 hates me... Any of you fine folks having the same issue or be willing to lend some adice? I've been over 36hrs without flying, I'm all out of Δv, and I'm gonna lllllllose it....
