Title: How to select joystick (launch via Knossos.NET)?
Post by: Mr_Maniac on February 14, 2026, 04:23:45 pm

Hi. I've downloaded WoD and wanted to play, but I just can't get my joystick to work.

Since there is no in-game "F3" options, I can't select it and selecting it in Knossos settings does nothing. I've tried editing the "in-game config" - no luck. Is there a command line option or something like that that I could try?

I also have an xbox 360 controller connected to my pc. Did not try if that works but I won't use that for freespace/WoD, anyway. I could try disconnecting it but would prefer to keep it as-is and just normally select the joystick.

Before beginning a mission, enter into the settings menu with F2 then F3 which brings up additional settings, including selecting your joystick.  Make sure to save your settings.

Hi. Thanks, but the F3 in-game settings do not seen to exist in the WoD build. At least they did not open for me.

The lab in main hall did open, but the in-game settings did not (but it does open/exist in all other mods/campaigns that use normal FSO builds - they also are taking the settings I made in Knossos as default).

This is why I am at a loss ATM.
