Re: How do I get the game to use my HOTAS?

@Archus I too have this issue - I have tried my Rhino X55 HOTAS and steam big box can see it and so can windows and it tests fine but the game does not detect any joysticks (I have a Rift as well) I tried a logitech Extreme 3D Pro on its own and even that is not seen by the game - this is really disappointing , so far I have 1 hour of play time logged in steam which has been me the whole time trying to detect by damn HOTAS AND fix the 918 error! EA fix this!

  • So, I also have an X-55, have no problems with it in any other application or game.  The throttle is detected and can be mapped, but when i try to map the stick, it doesn't "See" it.  I had EA Support call me, and they didn't know what to do, and referenced me to the Forums.  Yay.  It's weird, there's no drop down to identify which controller you are trying to map (I have lots of different button boxes, controllers, etc.) so not being able to select which one I'm mapping indicates to me I can map them all at once, except...it doesn't.  I'm using Origin, if anyone has any suggestions, i'm all ears.  Mouse and Keyboard isn't really ideal at all.

    Having issues with my Thrustmaster T16000M as well game won't recognize my throttle or pedals. This was stated by EA as being a compatible HOTAS system. I'm using it on PC through Origin not Steam.  I set flightstick 1 and 2 to T16000m and it thinks my flightstick is joystick 2 and not even recognizing the throttle or pedals as a controller at all, Any help?

    EDIT: Actually figured it out my usb card I had it plugged into wasn't working. Plugged the throttle into an active USB port and it showed up in my windows controller restarted the game and had both the flightstick and throttle showing and could map the controls to either.

    Not working on the Xbox either. Every other game works with HOTAS.

    It's a broken piece of crap, it recognises my throttle but not my joystick.  It doesn't see my rudder peddles.  I'm supposed to be a beta tester or something?  Disgusting release.

  • Also can't get HOTAS recognized. Game isn't playable without working peripherals.

  • my rudder pedals aren't detected as well. I've been trying to debug-it for the last hour. If I don't find a solution soon, I'll just refund the game as my joystick doesn't have a twist axis (hence why I have 500$ rudder pedals ffs...)

    Steam doesn't seem to detect my pedals for some reason. But, other games like DCS and Il-2 can detect them no problem.
