ok so 5 devices and you are not mentioning axes, actually should be simple to use the 5th controller- just use it in keyboard emulation mode using keyboard studio(you are trying to assign commands using dx buttons yes?)- the beta innovations keyboard studio can be used to assign keyboard strokes to the bu (and assign press/release functions :wink: )
i believe you can do this with F4IM also, which replaced keyboard studio. if it doesn't pm me your email and i can send you keyboard studio if you can't find it.
what expansion card are you using, ace 4x?- that adds 32 additional buttons to the 24 available on plasmalite for 56 total possible buttons without needing to use matrix wiring. definitely prefer direct wiring to matrix mode for traceability of faults 8)
IL2 uses an 'old' input protocol so can only 'see' 32 dx buttons per device so you need to use keyboard emulation for buttons 33 up anyway for any devices that exceed this number.
hope this gets you running
