Title: How to use Joystick AND Throttle?
Post by: fooflinger on June 19, 2021, 09:26:32 pm

Hey guys, what's the latest and easiest way to set up full hotas for this game? It detects both my T16000M Joystick and my TWCS throttle and they both work when selected separately. I tried VJoy but I couldn't for the love of god figure out how to map that plus it didn't seem to work properly anyways, breaking my third party controller drivers in the process. Just looking to use my throttle to boost really

Good question. I'll first ask which launcher are you using? (Ideally Knossos?)

Also, I use vJoy and others do as well, but if just want something even more simple I'd say to give Joy2Key a try (it's what I used before vjoy).

I run UCR for the actual mapping and vJoy to create the virtual stick. Works pretty well.

Thank you so much!! Joy2key is just what I was looking for and is incredibly easy to set up my throttle!
