keybindigs for dual joysticks

[algarbor92]

It is possible to set up properly a couple of joystiks and play with the excavators? I operate excavators in real life and would be crazy for me to play with a wrong configuration

I have Dual trustmasters t16000. They are both individually recognised by the game. I've just put them in setting "joystick Iso left" and "joystick Iso Right". Excavators then work for me as IRL. The only issue is that once configured that way, they feel incorrect on how a Pal crane works to my knowledge, but I could be wrong. Issue is the game won't let you alter the settings per vehicle once you do it like this. If I change anything in the bindings, the controls get all wonky.

Did you have to install anything special for this to work? (like Thrustmaster's TARGET software, etc, i.e. anything beyond the drivers?). I ask because I am trying to use a Hotas 4 on the right ISO setting, and a TCA sidestick on the left ISO (which is supposed to be exactly like a T16000 except for the Airbus paint and an extra thing on the throttle for reverse airplane engine things). Both are Thrustmaster joysticks, yet none show a preset setting at all. Setting their configuration to ISO or something else does basically nothing as no machine is configured for either joystick. Did you download a profile for these joysticks?

I have a dual set off TCA sidesticks. One set to Pilot, one to co-pilot.

The game itself currently has no presets for them it seems, so i mapped them both completely under ISO right and ISO left.

Works great. My controls ressamble those of real machines as close as possible and best to my knowledge.

@Chesco: Interesting that you can't remap some control under ISO left/right. Is that an issue with the games preset overwriting anything you want to do? In this case i am actually lucky that the game doesn't seem to have a preset for the TCAs so i have complete freedom in keybinding.

Thanks for your response. it seems you found indeed what I did, that the game does not map the TCAs even though they are almost identical to the T16000s.

So a bit of a follow-up if you may indulge me: along with your two joysticks, do you use a wheel, or do you steer with MKB/controller and only use joysticks for specific machine controls? I haven't found any video of people using joysticks without a wheel, hence the question. My wheel works fine with all my other games except this one for whatever reason.
