A problem with my joytick

Post by FuryMGS »

Hi everyone. ^^



I have a pretty annoying problem with my joystick. I bought it today because my other joystick was limited in terme of axis and I couldn't strafe or roll with it. I can roll with my new one, no problem with that, but I expected the little stick to allow me to strafe.

It's not considered like an axis, so I say "I'll just bind each strafe direction to a direction of the stick, like with any key !". But it seems that the stick isn't even considered like a button ... It does nothing when I try to bind the direction. I wondered if there isn't a way to bind the strafe to each orientation of the stick ?

It's a "sharp" stick, I mean you can't go in other way that up, down, right, left and diagonal with it, so I actually consider it like a "multibutton". I don't know if I'm very clear with that ... The stick "click" when you use it, like if you just pressed a button. Anyway, it's a T.Flight Stick X.



Thanks in advance for your answers, and sorry for my bad english. ^^

It may be a traditional 'HAT' on that device. And if that's the case, you just need to click on 'Joystick HAT' in the Options menu until it reads 'Strafe'. The game will then use the angular HAT for strafe thruster control.
