I would guess the other way round: Oolite is too old to properly support the XBox controllers.
The XBox One controller worked without a hitch - plug in and away I went.
The firmware of the 360 controller *might* need updating, but that’s all I can suggest at the moment without a controller to test with.

As long as the controller behaves like a joystick that is all fine. Yet they added some nice features into SDL 2:

There's no way to update/check the XBox 360 controller firmware without an XBox 360 - even the XBox Accessories App for Windows does not support this controller any more.
(Which is really annoying considering how well it's integrated into Steam - for example - tapping the XBox button on the 360 controller automatically puts Steam into 'Big Picture' mode)

I'll keep my eye out for a cheap 360 controller in the meantime. They show up occasionally on FB Marketplace.

Thank-you. Don't put yourself out, but I appreciate it nonetheless.

Indeed. Sadly.

I have an old wired xbox 360 controller (x854237 / e-c015-05-4542 according to the back scribbles). Just tested it and it works with Oolite 1.90 on windows 10 (22H2). I started Oolite, then inserted controller. No joystick, but after relaunching Oolite it showed up and I was able to configure it. Pitch, roll and yaw worked after configuring from the Oolite startup screen, haven't tested all buttons.
Maybe it's a player 1 / player 2 problem? That's the light around the xbox button. I assume you already tested using another USB-port?
