           Summary: Game controllers no longer detected in IL-2 1946

          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major

Since upgrading my Pop!_OS 22.04 system from Wine-8.0 stable to Wine-8.0.1
stable, in the classic flightsim IL-2 1946 version 4.13.4, none of my game
controllers (CH Pro Pedals, HOTAS Warthog dual throttle & VKBSim MCG_Gladiator
joystick) are detected by IL-2's controller GUI. Previous to this upgrade under
Pop!_OS, they had all been detected & were working fine. I also run Wine 8.0-1
under Linux Mint 21.1; & so far it has not exhibited this problem with the same
game & version; but I am concerned at some future point it may also.
