Native Controller Support

Post by Darkenedroom »

Hey,

Recently switched from v1.90 to using one of the v1.91 nightly builds and instead of using my Logitech X45, I tried my Warthog hotas with pedals and ho boy what a difference that makes! I'm using the pedals for yaw and feels a lot more like piloting an actual vehicle. Anyway I was able to use all the hotas axes and the pedal axis natively (once recognised in windows), no need to to spin up and configure a profile under 'Target' (the Thrustmaster mapping software). Each controller was found and available and each axis could be set directly in v1.91 and setting any of the buttons/hats was just as easy.

The only thing I tried recently which was just as comprehensive was DCS and you would expect that to be able to recognise a hotas. You can consider me way impressed, good job there guys, that's some pretty awesome native controller support!

Yep!
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!
