Setting up Thrustmaster 16000M

Post by CmdrErikAlan »

Currently, I've been using http://www.thrustmaster.com/products/t16000m-fcs-hotas for all of my space games.
Not seeing this particular HOTAS as an option in the profile section and was wondering if anyone either had tips on how to get the profile loaded or could walk me through configuring my own profile with this HOTAS if you have it also.

Thanks!!!

I have the joystick but I do not see a way to configure it for the game. Stuck on mouse/keyboard for me for now at least.

Sorry to hear that and at the same time glad I'm not the only one.

I'd really rather not have to go out and purchase another HOTAS as I rather like this one.

Managed to get the 6 axis working by going into the help menu but the triggers, etc I have no control yet. Throttle is backwards and inverting the throttle control does not invert. There is some sort of boost built in that I would like turned off and assigned to the keyboard or other button on the stick. Continuing to "play" with it.

Same problem here, the T16000M works perfectly and smooth in X-Rebirth but is a troublemaker in X4. The thruster give only backwards and backwards, the stick is unresponsive like a light switch. Unable to navigate and dock with such less responsive setup.

Can the X3 config be ported to X4?

Right now the settings menu to change settings unfortunately is not functional. Change one setting and it gets "saved" and when you try to set another option the "saved" setting gets placed into the new spot. There needs to be a neutral button to clear a setting and a save dialog entry to make sure settings changed stay set and become current.

I have the same issue, running a HOSAS setup I can see the virtual adapter in X3 that the Target GUI creates, but I can't seem to bind it to anything in X4. When selecting a control to bind to it, and pressing Enter to listen for a binding, only certain buttons on the T16000M are picked up - none of the axes for starters which is a problem.
