    Has anyone gotten the Ultimarc BlueHID to work with Automobilista?
    Works fine with all other games, even rFactor 1.
    I have tried everything I can think of but Automobilista just will not recognize it at all :(

    Make sure it isn't using XInput, as we only support Xbox Controller xinput devices.

    Thanks for the reply!
    I do not know how to tell if it is using XInput and a quick google search did not help either, but it gives me a direction to try to solve this problem.

    No, Automobilista does not see it at all.
    Shows up in windows device list and is configurable there no problem.

    Open your my docs\automobilista\userdata\<drivername>\controller.ini

    Look for these settings (1-6) and set them to 0, if you ever wish to use an xbox controller you will need to revert this back.
    Check XInput on Device 1="1" // Do we check if this device is XInput?

    I assume that you do not have 6 other devices appearing in the list?

    Was hoping maybe the update would help but no such luck :(
    Is there no way to force Automobilista to see available controllers?
    I know there is nothing wrong with the controller because Windows and all my other games see it.........

    Press start -> run -> dxdiag -> Input page, what do you see?

    i.e.

    What are the 12 other devices? Try removing as much as you can? Start the game with just the bluetooth box connected?

    Ok, will try that tonight.....
    Not sure what all the devices are, what I can think of off the top of my head:
    OSW FFB wheel which included the pedals
    Bluetooth Button box
    Wireless keyboard/mouse

    It seems strange that you have 12 other devices, that's a lot? I would rather try to have as few devices plugged in: keyboard and mouse, wheel, the button box giving problem. And then add one by one the others: don't you think it is a conflict between 2 devices? Not sure why it shows up in AMS only…
