V1.1 Joysticks not recognised (With proper attachments)

Post by OWL282820 » Mon, 3. Dec 18, 20:02

I have dual Thrustmaster T16000M joysticks that I use to play Elite, Star Citizen etc. But they are not recognised in Foundations. "Manage Joysticks" only shows "Empty Spaces". Trying to bind any axis or button doesn't work. I have the "Allow Joysticks" ticked and adaptive steering is on. I've tried using with Thrustmater's Target Software and without. The joysticks are visible and working in Windows joy.cpl and they work perfectly in the games mentioned above. I know I can play using mouse & keyboard, but I spent £80 on this game specifically to use joysticks. I'd be grateful if someone could shed any light on this. I really want to experience the X Universe.

:evil: :evil: What is the point of having a technical support forum if you get no support? I paid the same as everyone else, but am unable to play.

Just to try this out, I installed the T.A.R.G.E.T. software and attached both of my T16000M's.

Fired up the game, in manage Controllers/Joystick I have both sticks listed, in Controls General, I was able to set axis using both sticks.

I then saved it as a custom profile.

Thank you so much for your reply. So, It's something wrong with my set-up. But what does it indicate when my dual T16000's work perfectly through TARGET for both Elite & Star Citizen?

Seems to be luck of the draw Owl, some people have joysticks working fine, others not or not recognized.

I'm in a similar position, I have controllers and joysticks that work fine in Elite and other games, showing and functional in Windows yet X4 doesn't see either one at all. I'm trying to potter around with the keyboard but I'm not really enjoying it. :cry:

More data points: I'm using in X4 a Logitech 3D Extreme Pro and also a T.16000M FCS HOTAS (with throttle). Both worked just fine for me. Windows x64.

Question, did your inputs work before updating to 1.1?

I didn't have X4 before 1.1.

Gotcha, I ask because mine stopped working at 1.32 (correlative) but were fine before that. I have a x56 and a t16000 and neither pop up in the menu.

Do you have a game pad you can try? Xbox controller of the like?
