[#1105] Disable Joystick auto detection

Post by Staenker » Sat, 6. Feb 21, 09:01

Hello,
I love playing X4, but I also love to SimRace with a rather extensive rig. That means that I have 3 "Joysticks" connected to my system(Pedals, wheel base and clutch/buttons on the wheel itself).

When I start X4, X4 detects those devices and uses them. That leads to my map scrolling down whenever I open it. There's nothing I can do to fix this, except for restarting the game, disable all my "joysticks" in the options and then load my game. Now, that is perfectly fine and wonderful. But when I restart X4 the devices are enabled again. No matter what I do, they always sneak their way back in. Which is really frustrating: If I forget to manually disable them and load the game, I have to restart X4. A time consuming process, even on a decent system.

Now dear gods of the X4 universe - How can I disable that joystick auto detection?

Thanks a lot,
Richard

Yeah, you know what, I'm bumping this, too.

How come this is still an issue in 6.00 RC1?

I know that this does not fix the issue but as someone who has similar problems with the joystick sometimes I'd like to suggest a workaround by getting a tiny USB Hub with switches. May be a hammer to that nail but it works shockingly well :shock:

There is also the option to use 3rd party tools that can hide and consolidate sticks into virtual devices. I'm not 100% sure of a good choice for Windows but vJoy might be the thing you're looking for.
