Joystick Support
I'm considering pre-ordering as I have for past Battlefield games but wanted to know more about any details regarding support for joysticks. I find flying with them is much better but support for the...

I can confirm this is working with ORIGIN with Logitech Extreme 3D using / should work with any device You just need to remap buttons and axis
HidHide
and Xoutput
Key is to use HidHide to hide Logitech [or any other native device] device leaving only XBOX CONTROLER as emulated device.
Setting up HidHide like here https://vigem.org/projects/HidHide/Simple-Setup-Guide/
So you will need
Xoutput [run as administrator] - latest
ViGEmBusSetup_x64
ViGEmBusSetup_x64
HidHide - latest
If PC is detecting more than one usb device , BF2042 disables joystick input. That's why i needed to use HidHide and allow only Xoutput to see the Logitech stick.

Happy flying 🙂
Ok I get that. All controllers are hidden via Hid hide, and dont show up in windows devices.
I have Mapped Xoutput from my Joystick to the controller. I test it in windows under the game controllers/properties to verify in real time that my joystick is sending commands to the ps4 controller, and it is.
I load BF2042, and the DS4 controller works, and Is being emulated as an XBOXController so the game will use it.
I can use it to drive vehicle, and fly, and even remap keys INSIDE BF2042 by going to the keymapping tab, and testing if the controller will allow me to change commands directly. It works.
For some reason, that for the life of me I just cant seem to figure out, the Xoutput to contoller mapping doesnt work once BF2042 is loaded, even though it still sends commands simultaneously Through windows game controllers/Properties tab, and I can see it actively working.
What am I missing?

Good lord, we had to do a work around for bad company for this with helicopters and it was terrible. I hope EA does the rightful joystick support for this. I would not of paid so much for it if I new they were going to not have joystick support.

I assumed that I still had to have DS4 windows active to make this work.
I simplified the equation, and turned that off completely and removed the DS4 from it all together.
XOutput and Hid Hide were all I needed.
I had all setting correct, and had nothing to do but tweak the controls after turning off DS4Windows.
Thanks.
i followed all the instructions as posted, i still see the game controller showing the joystick even when i use HidHide to hide it. I'm missing something
