I use a Xbox controller to play other games. When I play these other games my HOTAS makes that a problem as the game recognizes them and doesn't work.
So I got a powered USB hub to plug all controllers in. I had all of these hooked up for months and was playing Aces High the whole time with no issues. I decided to relocate the powered hub to my desktop. I unplugged all the cords and plugged them back in, then ran the powered hub into a blue 3.0 USB connector.
Now the weird part
If I put on my headset and log into the game, the game shows my controllers and that they are programmed right but they will not respond.
When I log into Aces High without the headset on the controllers all show up and they work.
I have the hand controllers turned off.
