@carsono311True, I like the community can only have the Highest of hopes! I look forward to seeing you on the Battlefield very soon I hope...
why should be we forced to use anything with a potentially EAC Catchable hooking mechanism.
if EAC doesn't like x360ce , players are going to potentially get banned left and right on PC for attempting this.
BFV had FULL Native HOTAS support, BF4 had semi-full HOTAS Support ( restricted to a single USB Input ), BF1 had FULL HOTAS Support.
why would BF2042 have ZERO HOTAS support? its a simple as dropping 3 files into the directory and enabling multiple USB Controller Input and Identifying the controllers as independent inputs.
hell, even ARMA 3 has FULL HOTAS support. and thats a 9 year old game!
DICE is progressively dropping the ball harder and harder with each new game.
I tried my theustmaster and Logitech joystick today for 2 hours using every trick I know to get any of them to work and I cannot get them recognized in game. I edited all kinds of configs and no luck.. this saddens me, first they make tanks 3rd person for the driver which is * stupid, then they don’t give joystick support for planes or choppers.. it’s sad they are absolutely ruining this franchise slowly but surely.. 2042 is lack luster with its what 12 or 13 weapons. It’s a sad excuse for a BF game. I wish I did t soend 130 bucks on the ultimate edition.. the game is sub par.. played over 80k hours from 2000 till now in the franchise and I’m over it now.. they screwed this game up to compete with cod
Hi all. I have a Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback 2 joystick. Two of the buttons don't work any more but it's still awesome. I got rumble to work for it with Grand Theft Auto V and would like to do the same here but I no longer have my Origin copy to test it out, since I refunded it once I got the Steam version working with my joystick.
Steam working with Joystick:
You need the Steam store version of the game.
You MUST have Properties > Controller > Enable Steam Input for your joystick to be recognized in-game.
I have defined and then saved my joystick layout within Steam as a PS4 controller, but Xbox360 worked as well. This is found via : Steam Settings, Controller, General controller configuration which is at the top, select your joystick, Define Layout, map the buttons, save your settings and it will ask you what kind of gamepad you're saving it as for sharing it with others.
Under Steam > Settings > Controller > General, I have ticked both Playstation Configuration Support and Xbox Configuration Support.
Go through all controller settings, make sure all inputs for controller were cleared besides pilot.
Make sure everything besides pilots in Controller Schemes is marked as 'Custom' so your blanks override the defaults. Beware the CUSTOM crash if you mess with the pilot settings and try to change them both away from custom!
Use Steam to map your joystick buttons to exactly what they need to be in game, rather than tweaking them in game.
Origin working with joystick - I am still trying to find out how to test this when I don't have Origin's BF2042 any more:
More details here:
so i need to buy a 2nd game over steam just to run my joystick in the game ? or i can just add my game to steam and i can run it ?
@Kuiriel This is awesome!! Thank you for figuring the out! I was ready to cancel my preorder, but now I’ll just switch it to steam. Hopefully they’ll still implement joystick support before full release, but I’m not holding my breath. I’ve pretty much lost all faith in Dice and EA. The only reason I even care about this game is Portal.
Thank you for your reply, i have wasted three days of searching and trying to make my logitech extreme 3d pro to work but could not make it yo work with bf2042, i think ill wait till they fix it, it jappend in all bf games befor.

I have not yet bought the game or used the 10 hour trial due to Joystick not working.
When it works, feel free to give a review of air, especially jets.
I read about many problems.
I would like to hear your opinion.
If you have setup this, you just need to hope that you don`t get banned because of cheating 😉
I suppose it will work, just use HidHide...
XOUTOUT is easier to setup, but if you allready have x360ce just use it. EMULATOR is important, not matter which one.
I will wait and test befor i can give m.p.o , i found out through those long years of playing bf games that planes fixes are the last thing dice make or change.
Any chance a mod can change the title of this thread to "BF 2042 and Flight Sticks (Hotas)." Would clear some confusion and be easier to search.
Thanks
For me and my search Flight Controller was enough 🙂
I have the same stick. I've used it in every Battlefield since BF2. I'm not buying this game until it works natively without going through a hundred mods and cfg files. I mean FFS we can even go back and fly the 1942 planes but there's no flight stick support?
Any news on adding supports for Fight Sticks? Would be great. thanks
Yes, per my reddit post that goes until detail describing the steps. In short it was enable forced input in steam for the game, having unplugged other controllers to be sure they're not confusing things at least to start with, and then you set up the profile for the stick in steam too. All plane controller settings and schemes in bf at default, in the other spots where I cleared settings eg on foot I set the schemes to custom so that I don't get the random look up bug.
****SOLVED ***
Fixed for now , if you use logitech joystick .Search for and install Logitech profiler .
https://support.logi.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360025298053-Logitech-Gaming-Software
you can map keyboard keys to joystick controls
I set all pilot controls in game , example x axis= left /right arrow y axis = up/down arrow .
Then mapped my joystick X / Y axis to those keys in the logitech profiler .,
So I use he number pad keys for pilot controls and then map those keys to the logitech profiler . Simple fix , IT WORKS !
I am flying with joystick now !
