Title: Can't bind jostick throttle + Can I use 2 controllers
Post by: marxeil on January 01, 2010, 04:26:35 pm

Ok I got 2 questions for the price of one:
I am using a Logitech extreme 3d pro joystick. For some reason when I try to bind the throttle to speed, its not being detected. All other buttons are detected fine. I open the calibration screen and it says the throttle works.

It would be nice if that worked, but I actually want something more fancy. I also have a momo wheel + pedals. I want to bind the pedals to speed (I'm kind of used to that from driving cars). The pedals aren't detected as well.

Is it possible to use 2 controllers at once. If not, just getting the joystick throttle would be nice.

Dunno about the rest (for I wield a keyboard), but

I recall reading that you can do that with some third-party software. Possibly ppjoy.

For the throttle control, are you attempting to bind to Absolute Throttle in game or Relative Throttle?

Cause one of those (I think it's relative) doesn't work when bound to a throttle controller. Saitex X-52 Pro here and it works just great.

fso just support one controller at a time.
you'll have to cheat by using xpadder or ppjoy to get it work.

Which one is better? (And works with Windows 7?)  I have a g940 with the stupid multiple controller problem and I just want to use absolute throttle and throttle buttons in fso.
