I can't seem to find any information on setting up multiple USB joysticks in FSO (without using any 3rd party software)
It sounds like it's supported as of 22.0.0 using the fs_open.ini file and something called Control5.
Do I just need to add multiple joystick GUID's to this file?
Any examples or help would be appreciated...

There is a test version of Knossos which supports defining multiple joysticks. Using that is probably the easiest to get things set up.

Note that the Windows installer may get flagged as having a trojan/virus, but it's a false positive and the file is safe to use. I'm looking into a proper fix for that for future releases.

Windows installer: https://pxo.nottheeye.com/files/test/knossos/Knossos-0.15.0-dev+73b131a.exe
Debian/Ubuntu: https://pxo.nottheeye.com/files/test/knossos/knossos_0.15.0-dev+73b131a_all.deb

Thanks! I was able to get it working using Knossos 0.15, with a small workaround. I'm happy native multi-controller support is now in FSO!

At first, no matter how I configured the controllers in Knossos 0.15, upon launching FSO, it would only recognize one controller (JOY0)
I was able to get it to work by setting up the configuration, saving, then unplugging the undetected stick, launching FSO and plugging it back in.
I was now able to assign functions to both sticks (MS FF2 for main flight controls, and Thrustmaster HOTAS X for throttle and more buttons)

Unfortunately, I lost force feedback as part of the Knossos 0.15 install, it still works with other games so it's not a hardware/windows issue.
Force feedback previously worked in FSO using the wxLauncher, but it no longer works, even when removing the second stick.
When originally installing FSO I had to update the SDL2.dll in order to get FF working, but it seems Knossos 0.15 uses another version of this, could this file be the problem?

Here is my fs_open.ini
