Native Controller Support
Posted: Mon Sep 11, 2023 5:52 pm
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!
