Joystick Issue

[XxanisX]

Currently having a bit of a problem to try to set up my joystick. I have the Thrustmaster T.Flight Hotas X. Now my throttle is set to Z Axis, and my Rudder control is the slider 0 axis. There is no Z Axis in the game options, so I cant use my throttle.
Is there a way to manually change this in a config file? Otherwise I have to use my rudder control, and that means I have to keep holding it down to fly forward at top speed =-[
Any help would be great!

I have a Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS and separate rudder pedals and knew my throttle wouldn't work as they are read as 2 different controllers and not many games read them.

No biggie as you don't really need to modulate your speed. Either full forward or matching speed in a dogfight and I have those mapped to buttons. I use the Q and E keys for my roll.

My throttle controls is part of the controller, and all the buttons and everything work on it, its just there is no option for Z Axis, witch is a bit disappointing. =-[

Hello! There's known problems with that specific joystick. I have that joystick sitting right next to me now, and these issues will be addressed in one of the first patches. No promises yet, but I hope that is before the end of next week. The support for joysticks will be much greater at that point, with far better axis mapping options. I hope you are able to enjoy the game in the mean time!

Any joystick recommendations for the game? I'm on the edge of ordering something and was thinking about the stick/throttle from the original post.

I did have a Saitek Cyborb X laying around I tried it with, and I still had the same issue with getting the throttle set up. No Z axis. :(
I just cant win lol.
I hope a patch comes soon, I just bought my Thrustmaster lol.
Pretty good game regardless, I just feel dirty playing it with a mouse :p

+1 for the Hotas.x. We need a z axis. The rocker on the throttle handle needs to be mapped to yaw for this to be playable for me. Also, when trying to make this one work, i noticed that if i unmapeed the "throttle slider" (which was working) i can no longer get it back without restarting the game.

I have the same issue. You know you can use the Thrustmaster software to create a virtual joystick combining the stick and throttle, right?

Today I just bought another copy of SOL for my younger son and he has the same issue with the Z-axis on his HOTAS.X. Hopefully that gets fixed soon. With my 6 year-old I'm working on training the next generation of space sim enthusiasts!

I think its time to sticky a joystick thread.

X-52 here, no throttle working.

I don't get it.
Is it really that hard to implement customizable controls?
Look at the Evochron Series: you can set every single axis,slider and knob.

I really wanted to play this game, but i fear it just ends like SF Rouge Universe which had exactly the same problems YEARS ago.

using an old old wingman extreme joystick here. Not really any issues with the rudder here (aside me not bothering to calibrate it, so its lowest setting is just 'slow' rather than a full stop)

It seems Saitek and Thrustmaster didn't care, kinda disappointing as I have an X52. The developer's seem to be trying their best though, so a little patience is in order I think.

Do you know how to do this? I have been needing to do it for Jane's F/A-18 but have no idea how to do it as TARGET is not the easiest to use lol.

Be grateful if you could explain it?
