Hi there!
I have recently downloaded FS Open version 3.8.0. It looks lovely, but I cannot play it as my joystick (Thrustmaster T-Flight HOTAS) is not recognised by it. It works fine with 3.7.2 and 3.7.4. I notice that in both 3.7.2 and 3.7.4 the joystick drop down menu detects 'Microsoft PC-joystick driver'. 3.8.0 does not. It only shows 'V Joy Virtual Joystick' (from when I installed joystick curves I assume.) Clicking detect does not help. I have tried using the joystick with joystick curves running and without it, but it makes no difference. :banghead: Any suggestions? :confused:
NB apologies for posting this twice, I'm a forum noob. I accidentally posted this earlier in 'getting started'.

Have you installed wxLauncher 0.12.0-rc.2 (https://github.com/scp-fs2open/wxLauncher/releases/tag/0.12.0-rc.2)?
-
Yep, that worked great, thank you :)
I have encountered another problem however which has started affecting 3.4.7 and 3.8.0. Freespace 2 no longer recognises the buttons on my mouse, or the buttons on the joystick - so I can't shoot. The buttons on the throttle part of the HOTAS work ok however. :confused:
It used to work fine. It started happening after I re-ran the open installer recently. I tried running it again so see if that would fix it but no joy???
Anyone have any ideas???
-
Is the throttle a separate device?
-
Nope, all one unit. Thrustmaster T-Flight HOTAS X. Any ideas?
-
I got the same unit, and I can use and bind all buttons. Can you verify that all the buttons on your stick actually work?
-
Yep they all work. They all work on FS Port titles, AS1, Inferno, Vassago's Dirge and other mods. But not FS2 it's self. Even though it used to work fine. :confused: :confused: :confused:

If it works fine with other mods/campaigns selected with the same executable, that probably means you need to redefine your joystick binds for the FS2 campaign.
