Re: BF 2042 and Flight Controllers...

@p4m8fidw9m8sWell, the patch let me remap the bindings on a Thrustmaster 16000M FCS and a Microsoft Force Feedback 2. It could only see 'one' joystick device and would ignore others, so you couldn't have more than one plugged in.

But Battlefield 2042 can't see expensive VKB joysticks as joysticks.

So I tried using HidHide to hide the twin VKB joysticks and Vjoy via Joystick Gremlin to emulate a single combined joystick. However this didn't work either - Battlefield can't see the vjoy device.

Instead it's seeing the joystick as a controller, it turns out, and it can only see the one, not the pair.  And only some buttons and axis, but not others. And somehow it can see 'through' hidhide AND chooses to ignore vjoy!! WTF.

I'm so sad to watch Battlefield fall apart. It used to be my nearly every evening, and our friday night with mates.

Still can't play with more than three mates.

So sad for this game.
