hotas

Hi, I use x52 pro hotas, and wanted to get away from using my keyboard. After a bit of googling I found out about joystick encoders sold on ebay. Spent 20 quid on an encoder, some buttons and switches, and a sheet of carbon fibre printed vinyl. Used some scraps of plastic sheeting I had to...

Hi Folks! First-time player, long-time idiot, here! I played the game on my PS4 and loved it! I even managed a decent little courier business for myself. Then I decided it was time to go all out (and I mean ALL OUT). I have bought all I need to make a computer desk in the form of a fighter...

Hello, I hope this is as helpful for someone else as it has been for me. I am a very new Elite Dangerous player, and like many, I grabbed myself a Thrustmaster T16000M HOTAS set, and went about configuring it. I had done my research, so I knew that it lacked a throttle axis center detent, but...

Hello one and all, lookin' for a little ED (PC) tech support... Been playing on and off these past 5 years, and earlier today I replaced my trusty but well worn TM T-Flight Hotas X with a shiney new TM T16000 and TWCS throttle. Spent the afternoon and evening getting set up, re-binding all the...

Last night I bought MechWarrior 5, I was excited since the last good mech game I played was MW4 Mercenaries in the mid 2000's. Anyway so I startup the game and begin setting up my hotas. It sees my joystick and throttle but not my rudder pedals, ok. It tells me I can directly write to the config...

Playing on PC I recently borrowed an xbox version t-flight x to test whether it would be worth buying one, I decided it was and purchased a Playstation version from ebay. I should clarify first that the xbox version worked perfectly, didn't even need to set it up. However with this new one the...

Here is a video of some oddities encountered in a Lagrange Cloud NSP, some technical, some possibly bugs? Or maybe they are real features? In the process of wandering around semi-aimlessly in search of life, the Betsy has finally arrived at the Codex entry for Lagrange Clouds in the Perseus Arm...

!Saludos! Soy nuevo en ED (primer juego en el que llevo 60 hrs., y me sigo sintiendo nuevo). Hice esta hoja de cálculo para el T16000M HOTAS. Lo que les puede ser útil no son tanto los atajos de teclado, sino la hoja de cálculo en sí, para que anoten los suyos. Si no pueden crear una copia...

So I need a squad for general faffery. I don't do pvp much and just want a community to get back into the game. Also, I need hardware advice. Should I get an x52 HOTAS or x56 for $30 more? I do VR and need something better than KB/M.

EDRefcard doesn't support this but I like the idea, so does anyone have a fillable reference card or even a largish-size drawing of the Thrustmaster Cougar HOTAS that I can manually complete?

Hello FDevs, A simple idea that would significantly increase number of functions that player can assign to his/her HOTAS setup (we never have enough buttons for our needs): make every button double-function: short click will work as it works now long click (holding button for 1s or something...

Hey @all, I have a question about my HOTAS setup. I reconfigured my Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog to control ED without the TARGET software. But now I have no dead zone between my forward movement and the backwards movement on my throttle axis. So it is very hard to full stop the ship for the...

I let ED sit on my PC far too long so I decided to finally fire it up and I'm doing the training missions. Now, I have a Cougar HOTAS (NOT the MFD - yes, I have done a search and found that out) and rudders and would appreciate suggestions for the setup which do not involve Foxy. Just plain...

I hope it's ok to post a message about my clearout sale here.. I don't have enough time any more for flight simming, so I am selling my complete setup. I live in the UK and all of this equipment will go live on ebay on Sunday around 8-9pm via this LINK. Acer XB270HU 144hz GSync monitor...

I'm trying to build a script that reads a text file and line by line to automatically feed waypoints, for example to plan a neutron highway route. Now the scripting is not a problem (I use Python to copy the text and delete the line). However, pasting the text in the search box in the galaxy map...

I have a T16000m FCS & make use of the I/O layers for my control scheme. The problem I have is that there's no way to know what the state of the I/O layer is. I have the CapsLock key bound to the button that toggles the I/O layer state, but that's by no means a bullet-proof solution. I've...

Please can anyone explain the What the Mode switch does and the how, why, what for of said switch? How does it work, what other parts of the flight system does it effect, etc? Thank You for any help.

I recently purchased a Razer Wolverine Ultimate control pad with the belief that the additional buttons and triggers would be beneficial for Elite. Stupidly it was a bit of an impulse purchase and now that I have read a number of reviews I realise that the additional buttons can only be...

The Good: Solid build for the price, transforms game play. The Bad: No custom driver for Xbox and support a bit iffy in Elite The Ugly: Jitter and lack of throttle friction adjust Why review it now? When I bought mine I couldn’t find much about the T.Flight posted by long term users of Elite...

With the introduction to the FSS system, I find it odd that you are only able to use two of the for potentiometers and other buttons in ED. Specifically, the RT3, RT4 knobs are useless, and the SLD (slider) is also useless. Why can't we use these to fine tune radio frequencies? How about...

I have a quick question, I took a year break so I don't remember the answer. I have the Thrust master t1600m throttle and stick. One of the reasons I stopped playing is Elite decided to remap all of my controls, I know I should have had a back up saved but I didn't, I was ganked and went to...

This is my second Hotas, and unfortunately, I need an advice over it, since nowhere else to ask. First Hotas I've had was Hotas X from same company, now I have Hotas 4. Few weeks back I've unassembled the handle and greased it - read somewhere that if you feel the handle 'squeeks' and moves...

Hi guys, b-explorer is finally available to pre-order! https://www.black-hog.com/shop/ There is two options, one for throttles and joysticks, and other for desk mounts (Monstertech and Virpil). Regards, Jinx.

Looking for some help. Does anybody have a layout for the CH pro throttle that they could share as a starting point? Am particularly interested in how the mode switching has been used (and how that's done). If combined with a CH 'stick, are you using pedals for yaw or mapping to one of the...

I went to the X and Y axis and chose Bands. Then I set W, A, S, &; D. I left the bands at the default positions and had tested it, the letters show up about half an inch away from the center.of the flight stick I don't know how to configure this better. I also need help setting the mouse...

Probé el X55, se cortaron los cables, lo arreglé de forma externa y le tengo en el pueblo, con la garantía me llegó el X56 gratis, desde el primer día fallaba no ajustaba la palanca al cero, le quité el freno para que no cortara los cables, le corté un plástico interno, pero daba botones falsos...

Throttle and joystick not working but buttons are any body had similar troubles

Im using the Hotas 4 on my PS4 and so far I'm loving the difference. I am having a problem fine tuning one thing though. I'm working on my piloting skills and playing with using my thrusters, so I decided I wanted to set the throttle stick to thrust so I can control my movements better with FA...

My x52 HOTAS have more buttons than I know what to do with. I would love it if I could assign 3 different buttons/actions into one fire group instead of the two action cap. Lets say your mining; one fire group could hold the prospecting limpet, collector limpet, and the mining laser all in one...

I decided to step up my game and picked up the Xbox one hotas and pedals which finally arrived yesterday. There are a few things that I can't get to work correctly though. The rudder seems permanently linked to the stick twist and and toe brakes are simply ignored in the ED bindings. This...

u/an_angry_gippo (on reddit) posted a great concept of radio chatter in a conflict zone that really adds to the sense of immersion. This inspired me to share an inside look into the highly professional comms chatter between members of the Screaming Eagles during a recent wing fight... Link to...

If you're interested in a customized panel / face-plate for the Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS Throttle, labelled with your own controls and using the Warthog back-lighting (as seen below) then keep reading; I stopped procrastinating about requests to make my Warthog laser-cutting/etching template...

The TomTom satnav in my car can display recent destinations and I use that feature quite a lot How about a tab in the nav panel that shows in reverse chron order the last 20 say systems you have jumped to Would save having to go to the galaxy map to plot a route to a destination you visit a...

Hey everyone! Love this game (thanks FDev!) and have been having a ton of fun in VR. I got an Oculus Rift with a GTX 1060 6gb, i7, 16g of ram. Everything runs well enough. I'm using a X52 pro HOTAS. Typically I have no issues outside of typical driver issues with nvidia and/or Oculus. The...

Hi. I'm flying on a PS4 using a hotas ( thrustmaster ). This works comparatively well. There are however some things that could improve the experience. 1) I'd like to be able to save the settings file externally. There seem to be periodical problems with reading the settings file saved on my...

Would very much appreciate if support could be added to PS4 for joysticks other than this junk thrustmaster. I’m on my second one now for not even 6 weeks after 3 months of back and forth with TM to get the first one replaced, and this one is already starting to have the same problems as the...

Good Afternoon All! I have a suggestion as I am an Xbox One X player with the Hotas Joystick designed for ED. I play in two locations, one in the living room, and secondly my office on two different consoles. While I do not take my joystick back and forth with me between consoles, resetting...

Hi, I have an Oculus rift and Saitek HOTAS system. When I look to the left and right in game the side screens open up automatically. I can move up and down using the hat switch A on my joystick. I cannot navigate between the tabs though and not sure what/how to program this. Help much...

Recently, I upgraded from using an XBox One controller (since I started on console) to a full VR + Thrustmaster HOTAS + pedals setup. Seeing your avatar's hands move and appear to manipulate the controls as you roll, pitch, and adjust the throttle has always been a big immersion bonus for me...

First, it was exciting to see the T.Flight HOTAS One being offered but it’s limited to the UK so at best we’re waiting until very late 2017 or until sometime in 2018 before the US retailers get it. Id much rather the existing two elite dangerous supported Thrustmaster devices also be added...
