How do I get the game to use my HOTAS?
I have a Saitek x-52. It's hooked up, but the game's not recognizing it. It's set to keyboard and mouse. Maybe a dumb question, but I don't see where to switch it to HOTAS controls, Thanks

Getting this with a caveat. I'm using the Thrustmaster t. Flight Hotas One. The Ace Combat 7 edition. It comes with a rocker of the from of the throttle to work for yaw instead of twisting the flight stick. (bad wrists) For some reason, that rocker is what is controlling my throttle in game. My throttle stick moving does nothing. Never had this issue before. I updated my driver, though with the latest one being from the beginning of September I wasn't expecting much. I tried the work around but I'm not seeing anything on the controls list below Flight Stick Throttle Sensitivity like in that screen shot. This is frustrating.

If hit escape and then go to options->controls. Then at the top of list you should see remap controls click on change. then click on flight then under flight stick. You can then remap any function to what ever button, slider or POV you want
My T.16000M is having the same problem. It works in every other game (Flight simulator 2020, Elite Dangerous, etc.) but if I have both the flight stick and throttle connected at the same time, depending which port each device is in, only one will work.
In other words, if I have the T.16000M FCS Stick connected and the TWCS throttle connected, only 1 will work (depending on USB ports chosen) - if I disconnect one, the other works perfectly (but who wants to play with half a HOTAS?)
Again this is ONLY an issue with squadrons and not any other game. Devices are recognized in windows, and I can access the settings menu for both and verify functionality of all buttons and axis' in the thrustmaster control panel.
Win10 2004 (fully updated)
Latest Nvidia Drivers and Thrustmaster drivers (checked today)
9900K / 64GB ram / 1080ti / 3x1TB SSD (not that I think that matters)
Have also tried having these plugged in to a PCIE USB card as well as motherboard USB, and splitting between motherboard/USB card. If i split them between the motherboard/PCIE card, whichever I plug in to the motherboard wins. If I plug both in to the same (motherboard or PCIE card) the throttle wins and the flight stick goes dead.
Hoping this extra detail helps the developers identify whatever is wrong with their usb peripheral detection causing this.
I too am having similar issues. Playing through Origin, using Thrustmaster 4 where is all connected to 1 USB cable, and the throttle doesnt work, but the joystick does. I have tried every combination of settings in the Thrustmaster utility etc. I have rebooted the game after each change.
Verified drivers are most current on stick and software.
Checked that it works in MS Flight Sim just fine
Thrustmaster T.Flight HOTAS 4 (only has 1 USB cord to connect/disconnect)
THROTTLE --> Not working
STICK---------->Wokring
- @SuperChadMonkey Exact same experience here. Having to use the rocker on the thrust handle for temporary thrust boost/reduction (with PS button toggled to red). :[
