Hello
I'm trying to build joystick for flight simulator. I'm using joystick library from MHeironimus from here:

I installed latest Arduino IDE 1.8.13 , I updated drivers for arduino leonardo,, I select leonardo board and port number. I go to examples/joystick/FlightControllerTest and upload sketch to leonardo. Uploading is succesful. Computer shows me message new device found and installing drivers, next it shows me instalation succesfull and device ready to use but when I go to device manager it shows me arduino leonardo in LPT ports not Game controllers. I tried 2 different leonardos and the same story. I have Windows 7 64bit with service pack1 and 7 years old laptop. I saw there is similar Post here on forum but no answers and its impossible to reply there. Please help!!! Arduino Uno works without any problems with my laptop but leonardo giving me a headache. Foes anybody else has the same problem? How to fix it???

What made you think that this is a "Website and Forum" question? The subtitle of this forum is "Improvements for the web system, applications to moderator, spam, etc. Use GITHUB for official reports."

This is an international forum so many helpful members are sleeping. Have a little patience, especially since you've asked a very specific question that many people have no experience with. It is definitely helpful to have your post in the right forum where the people who can answer questions like it, can see it.
