*EDIT* Does this support HOSAS? YES IT DOES! (Hands on Stick and Stick)

[LightPillar]

I was hoping to use dual gladiator NXTs with everspace 2 to control the ship.

If this is 6dof it would come in real handy. Left stick to control forward, backward, left strafe, right strafe and vertical up down thrust. Right stick to control yaw, pitch and rotate. Works amazingly well with other space games like elite dangerous & star citizen.

Downloading atm so if no one has tried yet I'll report back with what I find after experimenting.

**EDIT** It finished downloading and looking through the options I see this.

So it looks promising.

So far it seems to support it. I'm setting up the controls now and this is what it comes up as.

As soon as I'm in game I'll let you know how well it works.

Nice, as a Dual 16KM user this sparks joy.

Please do update on how it is going. Just a single NXThere, but would love to know if everything was recognized properly.

You mean "HOTAS" (Hands on Throttle and Stick) ?

It recognizes the controllers as VKBSimGladiatorNXTR - 1 and VKBSimGladiatorNXTRL -0.

No I mean HOSAS. You use 2 sticks instead of a stick and throttle.

Here's a good example video:

That's not my video btw.

Cool. I haven't decided what I plan to do. Since there is no throttle, I might end up doing HOKAS

I used the game for almost 2 hours. You can map all the controls in game and you don't have to go to your flight stick to remap certain keybinds. It has clear indication on axis mapping and button press mapping.

The game has quite a few controls so expect to use all of your buttons even if you have 2 sticks.

The game has an inertia dampening toggle. If you like flying with Flight Assist off from Elite Dangerous then this is for you. If you don't like FA in Elite give it a try anyway as there are a few assists to help you.

I love flying with inertia dampening off.

BTW if you want to disable auto rotation centering (Even if you use a flight stick) go into settings and under controls go to gamepad and disable the auto rotation there. You can even map controls for the menu so you don't have to take your hands off the sticks in order to manipulate loot windows and base menus etc... So far HOSAS has been a pleasure.

@ Lightpillar

I'm using the same sticks and was hoping they'd work. Your reports are the good news I was looking for.
