No gamepad (joystick) found on Windows 10 #71

Hi,

I'm getting an inputs.UnpluggedError: No gamepad found error using Thrustmaster T.Flight Stick X. It is not a hardware problem because I get button/axis data from this joystick using JavaScript Navigator.getGamepads() on a pretty simple customized web. Furthermore, it works fine on Linux+Python2.7 , but no success on Windows10 + Pyton 2.7/Python3.6.

Maybe some extra Windows settings are needed?

Thank you!

This is likely because your flightstick does not use xinput but instead uses directinput. This library does not have any support for directinput controllers that I am aware of.
