Track IR and Joysticks not working in Premium Beta build?

Hey guys,

i finally installed the game, even though it installed it on \AppData\Local\Frontier_Developments and i didn't have a chance to change the installation folder.

However, my TrackIR and my Thrustmaster Warthog and CH Pro Pedals do not seem to work probably. It seems like the game can't handle more than 2 Joystic inputs?

How do i enable TrackIR or is it just the old unmodified build they gave us today?

Thx!

Trackir needs to be run as admin, your joystick should work out of the box with the profile selected in game.

Pedals used to work, now they don't, work in progress I think.

I too would like to know this. I know that Warthogs are a bit expensive however there seems to be quite a few owners on the forum, so maybe FD might be able to sort out default assignments in the near future

The Warthog does not have a profile ingame and i run everything as admin. Should there be a TrackIR menu somewhere?

There may be no Warthog profile so you may have to base one off x52 or similar.

I've not seen a trackIR menu, I just launch it as admin, make sure it's got my elite profile, and it works.

No track IR menu in game. The game has an entry in the trackIR profile lists and works seamlessly in game. However, I can''t remember if the game had implemented it in 1.02.

Make sure Elite: Dangerous is in your list of "Titles" in TrackIR - mine did not work until I did an update. That was for Alpha 3 though....

Flossy has mapped them for us:

Following my husband's (Wrongway) post in the Alpha Forum asking about the default key assignments on the Warthog in Alpha 3.2, I decided to help him map out the defaults and draw some charts up in a similar fashion to the X52 Pro which was posted in another thread.

This is what we have found, hope they are of some help to anyone using the Warthog. If any errors are found, please let me know. :)

I am (we are) using Saitek rudder pedals which we assigned in the key-mapping and that is the only deviation from the fault.

The problem is, that the game does not recognize all of the Warthogs keys. For example: if i add missiles to button 2 on the joystick, my throttle button 2 gets overriden. The game does not recognize them as 2 joysticks, even though they are seperate in Windows.

As far TrackIR, it's not implemented into the build (old) they gave us. I know it's PR/Marking blah blah, but they said "The Premium Beta effectively starts today, with Premium Beta players able to download a single player combat build of the game." so i expected that they give us a bugfixed build instead of just giving us the old 1.02 one.

Does Target help this?

TARGET seems to work fine.

It may be useful should you wish to script events too, as I cannot see the basic setup allowing for that. I can send you my current TARGET file if you want it, just PM me.

Ok thx to Yaffle, the button problem is fixed.

cH Pedals and trackir still doesn't work and I guess there is no chance that they merge the code fixing that from a newer version into the premium beta build?

I can't get the Warthog to work either or more precisely not all of it. Some axes and buttons work, some don't. It's a moot point though because unless I switch to keyboard or keyboard/mouse my ship is uncontrollable. As soon as I activate any kind of joystick support my ship starts spinning in endless circles and I can not throttle down either, just up.
Seems like the Windows controller calibration does not properly carry over to the game and since there is no calibration within the game there is nothing one can do to fix the controls.

So in essence the game is completely unplayable in this state, at least with a Warthog and Saitek pedals.
Oh well. Guess that's it for now then. Quite the short premium beta experience :) . I hope we'll get a more workable solution one of these days.
