Hi all
A question before I wast time.
I got board and felt like revisiting IL2 for a few combat missions.
Its been years since I used any flight sim but MSFS2020 and I have the honeycomb Alpha and Bravo set up perfectly for MSFS2020.

However I disconnected my honeycomb kit and reconnected my CH HOTAS kit to have a go at IL2.

I desperately don’t want to loose all my honeycomb kit settings in MSFS 2020 (configuring flight controls is one thing I find frustrating in MSFS2020). So, if I load MSFS 2020 with my CH HOTAS kit attached to the PC in the short term, will MSFS2020 be clever enough to remember my Honeycomb set up when I I disconnect the CH HOTAS kit and reconnect the honeycomb kit.

Alternatively are there some flight control files I could copy for when I re attach the honeycomb kit

Thanks in advance if you can help.
Best wishes
Bob

As far as I know, it should not be a problem to switch between various controllers in between sessions. I have an old CH Yoke and a new Thrustmaster Airbus stick and switch between them when required. All settings remain with their respective controllers.

My understanding is that this is possible because all USB devices have unique identifiers which allows settings for each device to be saved for just that device.

That is mostly the case but since it is not mandatory there are a few  products that don't have a unique identifier. It cost money to apply for one so small businesses or startups don't bother.
You might get issues if you have more than one of these.

It is not likely to be an issue with controllers from big and well-known companies.
