Changing flight controller

Post by Skeksis »

Greetings.

I just downloaded the demo based on the latest news update from Natural Point and when I went to configure the controller axises I noticed that the game had selected my Pro Throttle over my Fighterstick. Is there anyway to change this to use the stick?

Also I have a full HOTAS with rudders. Is there any way to use all of this this or are there any plans to allow sim-pilots to use all of their toys? :)

Thanks,
Skeksis

I'm guessing you're using a CH setup. They are known for locking themselves into device slots, forcing other devices into different slots and not allowing slot assignments to be changed (often ignoring settings such as 'default device' in the Windows game controller manager). There are some useful links and information in this thread: http://www.starwraith.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1233

Might take a little experimenting to get the configuration you want. You can unplug the device listed in slot one, launch the game, then plug the device back in and see if it provides the control you want. Another option is to use the secondary device mode (outlined at this link: http://www.starwraith.com/arvoch/faq.htm#4 ). There is a utility another forum member used listed in this thread: http://www.starwraith.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1040

Yes, currently, if those toys are part of one or two devices (or can be combined to be used as such through software, which most provide one option or the other).
