Solved
Joystick support! It was finally added!
The release notes failed to mention it, but I now am using my Logitech Extreme 3D pro again with my PC.

- @Echo6Echo I don’t know your set up, so I’m spit ballin’ here, but I think you need to go into the 2042 Options themselves and set it up. Worth a shot if nothing else is working. The 2042 controls are poor at best and it seems clear it was an afterthought so don’t expect it to work the way it should, especially through Steam.
- @ATFGunr yeah will just have to try it when I get them. If not will just have to stick with using controller for flying
How did you get BF2042 to see your Wingman 3d pro joystick? it doesnt see mine at all?
it still does not support multi-input devices though. the X-52 uses a link cable and sends all the data to a single USB. however, migrate to the bigger setups, the X55/56 that use dual independent USB inputs, and only the stick works, the throttle becomes a controller and 50% of the time, locks the game up entirely forcing a task manager close.
Thrustmaster t.10000m any HOTAS setup that requires 2 inputs - still doesn't work. i know why, ive brought it up to DICE - lost count now. and its the simplest fix ever. But im not risking a game ban by fixing it myself as it requires 2 additional files in the core root directory that relate to directinput, hidinput and one other directX input that make a setup that uses the same HIDBrandCLASS but two independent devices of that same brand class work together.
EAC will either EAC Ban me for, or signal to DICE i have unauthorized files in the directory for an i get slapped with an account ban.Totally bummed out they still haven't added full JS controllers yet, or even if they plan too. I have a Sidewinder Precision 2 JS and it doesn't work yet either.
Thrustmaster is working too!
This gives dogfighting a far more natural feel, thanks OP!
- @AOD_CapStar362 I’ve managed to get my 3D Pro to work, but not my X52. Even turning all the mouse analogs off, it still spins my character in a circle. The X52 is such a better stick than the Pro, how can this not have been fixed yet? They worked in the past games as recently as V.
@ATFGunrexactly my point - every PC Title in the 20 years of BF worked with Joysticks natively. why 20 years later its an issue?
BFV and BF1 worked natively with my X56, a multi-input setup. now, BF4 and all prior titles do not support multi-input, i can understand that, but even then, games like ARMA 3 natively supported multi-input and many other titles support multi-input. i had the X-52 for BF4, 3, BC2, 2 and 2142. i had the original Thrustmaster TopGun setup for 1942 though. i got the X-55 for BF1 and other titles, but then moved to the X-56 for its RGB, but its the exact same build as the X-55 just RGB capable unlike the 55 which is just Green Lighting like the 52 was.
As far as BF goes - this is 2022/23 BF2042 should be NATIVELY supporting the latest and greatest of controllers and PC Hardware.
As ive said in the past - looking at the root directory of BF2042, comparing it to other games that Multi-Input works - there are 2 key files missing that enable multi-input. its as simple as that to fix.
But im not risking my 20 year account to a game and possibly account ban by adding them myself. this is simple logic 101 stuff for a video game.- @AOD_CapStar362 Yah I feel you, I wouldn’t risk it either.
- @Ironhead841 Just wondering If the Communtity Members who have their Logitech 3D Pro working used the Logitech software or another? this information would Help many I am sure(myself included), I am very glad joystick support has been introduced in BF2042.....been an advocate since pre Alpha.
