MMicrosoft 360 controller

[thowardus]

I have a microsoft 360 controller for the PC (its a gamepad used with an Xbox 360 as well) and cant get it set to play well with X3 I can play keyboard and mouse but would like to know if egosoft plans to add compatibility for the 360 controller and if they already have where I can find the setup for it. Thank you.

It appears in my startup menu (so before the actual game loads), in the 'input device' window. Try selecting it there.

I did that however the right joystick is not programable in game?? I would like to use it for Roll and strafe etc..and set the Directionals for comm and other keyboard functions and move my accelerator and decelerators from the triggers and place them both on the left (top) and use the right trigger and top right button for next target and firing etc...this does not seem to be possible with the right joystick being assigned a Button 10 address by the game.

I tried a few different settings, but to no avail I'm afraid. Seems the game treats the LT and RT buttons as throttle (although they can be set to roll/strafe) and the D-Pad as HAT switch. The second joystick isn't detected at all...

Perhaps an external profiler could be of use, if there is any?

I have the same problem with it....would love to set the d-pad as the buttons to open commlinks etc....and move the throttle to the left trigger/button someone had a program called xmapper or something but I haven't been able to find that post again...I guess I will just play keyboard and mouse but it seems silly that a game like X3 has no support for the 360 controller

Google Xpadder ^^ lets you define 360's contols so it can take over keyboard's functions.
