Title: Multiple Controller support?
Post by: chrisv25 on June 23, 2010, 08:09:51 pm

Hello.

I am playing on Win7 64.

I have a Thrustmaster Cougar HOTAS joystick and throttle (5 analog axis) and a CH USB Pro Pedals (3 axis) for rudder control. I am not able to assign axis from both devices to the game at the same time. Is there any fix for this?

Thank you!

At the moment, the FS2_Open engine supports only one control device at a time, and I think no more than four axes on that control device.  There are some external software options you can use to have your controller emulate keyboard input, but I'm not sure how well those would work with axes.

Thank you for the response.

I believe the next offering from Thrustmaster, the Warthog HOTAS, will have software that allows you to combine your controllers into 1 virtual device.

Thanks to everyone that worked on this mod. It is glorious. I am really enjoying it.
