There is no option for a joystick gremlin on PS4 as far as I know. Also unless the gremlin tricked the game into recognizing the Hori as a HOTAS the throttle problem would persist.

Obviously there's no JG, but what actually happens when you throttle up? Just curious. If you want to spend the extra $80 a CronusMax Plus should work. I have one and used it so I could use my Hori on Xbox Ace Combat. It's basically Joystick Gremlin in a USB dongle, for want of a better term.

Edit: Of course, you shouldn't have to, but if that's what it comes down to, it's better than nothing. It's absurd that support for an official peripheral wasn't built in from Day 1.

What happens if you switch the stick to Flight mode?

This is an xbox manual, but there should be a switch that causes the throttle to be seen as an axis, and disables the analog stick on the top of the flight stick. That's how prior iterations of Hori HOTAS function:

(Also, you could cosplay as that guy from Gotham with all the guns.)

Edit: from an Amazon review:

"The latter one is quite problematic. According to the official HORI instruction manual you are supposed to choose throttle switch Setting 1 when you want to use the throttle for acceleration and deceleration of your jet fighter, but in my (particular?) case that only did work in Setting 2."

(I think this might be a PS3/PS4 switch on yours. If it only works on PS3 then yeah, you're screwed)

From what I gather, that means Setting 1 is most likely what you're looking for (the opposite of what works for AC7, as the Xbox manual seems to indicate). You'll need to remap the throttle, of course (and probably all the other movement controls).

Let me know if I've solved it.

@BillkwandoThat has helped its still not perfect but switching to setting one and remapping has made the throttle work better.

Perfect. Now I'll make you a video and suggest some button mappings.

Edit: It won't be nearly as polished as yours. 🙂

OK here we go, sorry it took so long.

To avoid confusion this is the switch I refer too, the ps4/ps3 one will just switch it off

Awesome, what does 3 do? Does that make the buttons not doubled up? LOL

No its the same, the thing works great on Ace Combat but this sadly not

Still no patch or word this issue will be fixed

My throttle now works as it should, im much happier
