HOTAS ISSUES

As if the tearing/stuttering weren't enough... Now this... [sad]

By the way, why didn't you guys made a default control scheme for the Hotas, Lloyd? :p
How does a noob like me config an Hotas 4, especially when itseems to be some sort of issue with it? [haha]
 
It should be in the main menu, under Options / Controls

the very first item (defaults to "Default Context" I think), you need to cycle through to select you controller, I think

I've tried the training missions with the DS4 controller, and am just about to go out and buy the HOTAS - too used to using one on the PC :(

am getting an update - I will check that out when its done - about 70 minutes apparently....

Hi Astro,

There should be a default setup available on the Controls screen. With your HOTAS plugged in head to the Controls menu where you assign the buttons. Select the drop down menu at the top and select "T Flight HOTAS 4". If this option isn't available please let me know.
 
The Thrustamaster T. Flight HOTAS 4 is the only supported one at the moment... and its not proving intuitive to use.

BIG issue is the throttle - I expected analogue continuous throttle as it states in the options and set-up but in-game it is either 100% on or 100% off. Have you tried landing with an all or nothing throttle?

SECOND big issue - landing gear deployment is O and down hat as default...which is FUN considering O is also BOOST!!!! try that for giggles.

Yeah, boost and submenu containing landing gear are tied to the same button on controller too. Recommend you change that. I didnt until I had an accidental boosting incident in a station and ate a 36 million rebuy...

Please do report this, it sounds like it may be a bug. Please include as many details as possible when submitting the report.

I can confirm that my HOTAS 4 was mapped correctly and that the thruttle works as intended.
I did have to force disconnect my DS4 in PS4 menu to get it working though.

The ps4 can only handle one controler unless there's multiples playing. Then I believe it's only 4 total. When playing solo, one cannot utilize two controler, the hotas is basically a disfigured ds4.
 
I did yes - analogue - see maddMattnz post too - he may have the same issue - hence my posts. is it just me or....keen to hear from all and sundry.

I have the HOTAS 4 - not had issues with the throttle, mines analogue as I'm having no issues docking / landing. There is an option to select the thrustmaster hotas 4 in the controls you don't have to map everything individually.[woah]
 
I'm also really disappointed you can't use the both the DS4 and the HOTAS. I wanted to use the HOTAS for flight only and the DS4 for in game menus and the galaxy map - especially because of the touchpad. I can use the DS4 and a Logitech G29 in my racing games - wheel and pedals for driving and the DS4 for menus etc... The HOTAS is really clunky for menus etc... and I haven't even got to the galaxy map yet.

You can use the DS4 to move the cursor around the map using the touchpad
 
There is a setting on PC at least to set the throttle to zero out at the middle point or at the lowest point. Check the settings for that... I think it was a tic box. Can't check as I still have 3 hours and will not get around to the game till tomorrow night.

The DS4 and Hotas 4 work fine together in War Thunder, so at least it should be do-able. Hopefully this is just a temporary bug.
 
Not tried mine yet so thanks for the reports and quick fix instructions :) can you set it to zero at the halfway point with lower being reverse?
 
Do any of you HOTAS 4 users also have the T.Flight rudders and can you confirm if they work in Elite or not?

Thanks!
