tapi Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Is there any limitation as for the number of attached USB input devices in DCS? I plan to add two more USB controllers so that I will have 6 total. (Joy, Throttle, Pedals, Axis module, Trim module and Switches module) THX Smoke me a kipper I'll be back for breakfast!

QuiGon Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 I'm already at 7 USB input devices in DCS and it works fine (mouse, keyboard, gamepad, joystick, throttle, peddals, TIR). Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!

tapi Posted January 27, 2020 Author Share Posted January 27, 2020 Well, to tell the truth, I did not counted Keyboard, Mouse and TIR. So the planed number is 9 total :-) Smoke me a kipper I'll be back for breakfast!

Mars Exulte Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 I have 20ish. You can run as many as you can power. If running many, I recommend using an externally powered hub (plugs into wall socket for power).

QuiGon Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Well, to tell the truth, I did not counted Keyboard, Mouse and TIR. So the planed number is 9 total :-) Well, they are USB devices that have to be recognized by DCS just like your joystick, throttle and so on ;) I don't know if there's a limit for input devices in DCS (or Windows!). :dunno: Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!

Aluminum Donkey Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Is there any limitation as for the number of attached USB input devices in DCS? I plan to add two more USB controllers so that I will have 6 total. (Joy, Throttle, Pedals, Axis module, Trim module and Switches module) THX Shouldn't be a problem. I'm pretty sure DCS will recognize as many USB input devices as your operating system can detect, and it's a lot.

Bob_Bushman Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 (edited) In total, I'm at 15 USB devices, that I can think of at once, but 8 are showing up in DCS as configurable, the rest is the likes of headphones, the rift-s, keyboards and mice, and the boom mic. I think you should be ok, from what I gather the first thing to cause issues is if your devices run low on power something a powered hub should take care of np. So far my main devices is the: Crosswinds, the t50 throttle, t50 gimbal, and warbrd lefty stick, and two sets of cougar MFD's. Granted I don't use the lefty stick in DCS, and might honestly consider not bringing it over to my "three years and counting" pit build.

tapi Posted January 27, 2020 Author Share Posted January 27, 2020 Thanks to all guys. I think I can expect to be OK with all my planned USB devices (of course I use powered hub).
