[4.30 HF2] ISSUE - I'm having trouble navigating menus using a HOTAS.
Posted: Wed, 3. Jan 18, 19:40
Hello, everyone. I've purchased this game on Steam about a week ago now, and have started playing it in the past few days. I've been trying to play through the tutorial on the "Restoration Project" mode. Piloting so far has been comfortable for me and I have had little trouble adjusting flight controls to my preferences.
What I have been having trouble with so far is basic menu navigation. Even though I set bindings for menu navigation, in many of the menus the keys I assigned don't work as I intended them to.
My desire is to play the game using only my HOTAS, so I would prefer not to resort to using my mouse, keyboard, VR wands, or any other controller at all while I play.
I've looked at several threads on this forum and other places across the internet trying to figure out what the problem is and how to fix it. It appears this is a common issue, but I can't figure out if anyone has resolved it or not. If they have, the method by which they fixed it is unknown to me, and I believe I need someone to have a direct dialogue with me in order to better understand the situation.
Here is more information about my hardware setup. I'm playing this game in Steam VR mode, using an HTC Vive. My HOTAS setup is a combination of devices from CH Products, including a CH Fighterstick, CH Pro Throttle, and CH Pro Pedals. If anyone requires more information than that in order to help me, please let me know what you need.
As it stands, I am unable to play the game at the moment because of this issue. Please help me if possible.
EDIT: As an example of my issues with the menu for further clarification, I have limited navigation of the zone map and can do a zoom in (but not a zoom out), partial menu tabulation, and can back out and close the map entirely. However, I can't select the sector, comms, or details sections of the zone map window without using a mouse.
