Here's the page you may need: http://eaw.neocities.org/eaw-joystick-remappable.htmlYour using two USB devices, that won't work unless your combine them physically(chained linked) or virtually with special software. I assume the keypad can be considered another controller. Its all in the help document.

Eaw is pretty good for setting up controls,,I like it that I can do it directly in game and don't need to use the logitec software,,As you article states ,,This frees up the normally assigned keyboard strokes,,,This gives me flexibility there,,,Mostly on the stick itself I assign mr S.A. functions and use the keyboard for stuff like Gear ,,brakes map etc,
Mark Used your site for help in setting up my stick.It's a Logitec 3d pro Mapped out what controls I wanted on paper..Got mostly S.A. stuff on the handle..with fire second weapon on one of the buttons...^ buttons on the base have flap controls,bombs Rockets,,Still have two buttons free on the base.Now to draw a quick diagram of the stick top and base buttons...Going to add some easy ones to a remapped keyboard,,Gear,,Mao,,Autopilot..ETC I will test drive it and adjust as necessary....Jeez everything was easier when I had my X-52 beaucoup buttons there.But your site is a great help and read it often some parts more than once

OK Tried to get the keypad working..The sim didn't seem to accept input from it and my machine started freezing,,Not sure if that's from the keypad or some recently installed software..So I went to plan B using some advice from Mark's site I programmed the most important commands to the Logitec stick..Those are really the basic combat commands for targeting friend/foe,,and some weapon selection commands,,,,Then I basically cleared my keypad and the keys on the right side of my keyboard and used them for the lesser but sometimes used commands like map,,engine start,auto pilot,,drop tanks etc...mostly commands you use once or twice a mission also this works to make everything one keystroke not the ctrl + something...It's easier for me and allows me to keep my hand on the stick when dropping external tanks looking at the map etc... Flew a bit and will make some adjustments so things are placed better I like to have flap control on keys 1 and 3 and gear on # 2 in the middle..My goal was to make a setup that was comfortable for me and so far seems solid.
Damn messed up and lost my ini file,,,,,,Don't know how but it's gone.I was doing some editing and machine locked up and had to do a cold re-boot...Question is can you copy an exe from one version of EAW to another,,,Are they basically the same?? Of course I know some are edited but are they somewhat interchangeable??

Thanks for the answers Mark,,VB....I think it's best to try creating a default ini and start from scratch That was the problem before I was working off the keycard and found some ini's were non standard.,Anyways ,I found out what locked me up it' was an automatic PC tune up utility ,,Got rid of that sucker...Only good thing was as I mapped a key I was writing it down and I made a map of my stick and the right side of the keyboard..With commands as I entered them. It's a bit rough trying to learn//relearn stuff related to EAW,,But Mark's site is an extremely valuable tool
