Game thinks I am Playing on XBox?

Post by MOCO » Tue, 15. Jun 21, 16:34

Hi

I have just started play X4 Foundations on PC (Steam).

I am currently going through the flying tutorial. I have a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro joystick.

I am the point in the tutorial where I am being asked to fire upon a stationary target. The instructions on screen are telling me to use the Right Trigger to fire my primary weapons. Why? I am not playing on XBox. I also cannot find any settings for weapons key bindings.

Why is the game asking me to use Right Trigger when I do not have an XBox controller attached?
How to I rebind weapons to new keys?

Many thanks.

Most controllers should have a right trigger, including from Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft. I am guessing the issue might be due to using the controller API where the joy stick might be mapped to the generic controller buttons. However I do not have experience using a controller or joystick with X4.

At the beginning of the flying tutorial, when you are in the room, he should have asked you, if you want to load preconfigured controller mapping, or something like that. You can do that in the settings anyway afterwards, there should be some predefined configs for different controllers available.

Code: Select all

Feeling a little dumb here.

When the game was instructing me to use down on the D-Pad, it was not referring to an XBox controller, but to the little HAT switch thing on my joystick.

I will crawl away now. :oops:

Thank you to you both for trying to help.

I'm using the exact same joystick.
It works pretty well and the game allows you to map it exactly the way you want. Just do so.
The exact wording used by the tutorial is nothing to worry about.
Humans are deuterostomes, which means that when they develop in the womb the first opening they develop is the anus.
This means that at one point you were nothing but an asshole.

Some people never develop beyond this stage.
