I use a Virpil separate joystick and throttle. They show up in windows game controllers as two separate controllers.
When I try to edit my axis settings within game it has no problem detecting both controllers and is happy to accept pitch/roll/yaw from my joystick.
It also seems to accept my throttle axis during the assignment process but when I go into game there is no throttle control.
If I assign the throttle axis to an analogue hat switch on my joystick it works ok but I really want to use my separate throttle.
Has anyone overcome a similar problem?

I had trouble with assignments until some kind soul reminded me to hit "Save" after portioning out the keys and axis assigments. Good luck!

I have a completely different joystick (ch) but when setting up I had some weird conflicts going on by default; rudder pedals doing throttle type thing)..I had to clear all the controls before I was able to get things responding as I needed.

There are extensive notes in the FAQ about configuring throttle, pedals etc. Firstly as per the FAQ un-assign ALL axis on any controller that you do not need to use on that controller.
This will avoid conflicts.

Thanks to all of you for your replies but unfortunately my throttle is still not working.
I have unbinded all axis not being used on throttle.
I also remembered to save settings.
The key mapping tool detects my throttle and adds it below button 8 in current bindings as;

Axis Ry: Throttle {Scale:127} {NullZone: 1}

It just will not work in game
I use a Virpil T150 throttle with Virpil Constellation Delta joystick.
Joystick works great.

Do you have any other devices? Pedals for example or is it just the joystick you have (that is being seen as two).

I needed to select every device individually under 'select controller', unbind all for each device one by one, before selcting the next device under 'select controller' then set up each one a new.

So what I mean is unbind everything, even keys if necessary, then put it all in from scratch.

(In theory, you just need to select each controller in the 'select controller' and look in current bindings to see if any has a setting for Axis Throttle, but I always liek to build my controls up in sims anyway).

There's a WOTRkeys.xca file in your appdata folders that you can also look at to see if there is another throttle listing
