ChatGPT said MP supports two USB joysticks. Is it true?

Ground Control Software Mission Planner

I wonder if this issue has been resolved as of March 2023.
Just in case, I asked an AI named ChatGPT about it. my question was

is it possible to connect two USB joystick with mission planner?
does mission planner recognize all two joysticks at once?
is it possible that one joystick controll pitch, roll, yaw. and another joystick control throttle?

and received a very confident answer that it is possible.

However, some say that ChatGPT’s answer is not yet entirely reliable. I would appreciate it if there is someone who can answer more confidently than ChatGPT whether it is possible or not.

Check, if not you can use one of few virtual joystick controllers like Snoothy’s UCR or Joystick Gremlin to combine multiple devices into one.

I don’t think multiple joystick support has been added in the years since that thread.

Also, please don’t consult ChatGPT on such specific, technical topics. It’s a waste of your and everyone else’s time. Here is a great article summarizing (in part) why: ChatGPT is great – you’re just using it wrong (theconversation.com)

I was able to use ‘JoystickGramlin’ with your advice to make the two joysticks(X-56 HOTAS Stick & Throttle) recognize as one(vJoy Device).

ChatGPT doesn’t try to write sentences that are true. But it does try to write sentences that are plausible.
It sounds good~ ChatGPT is great~

It was an ironic title.
