Flightstick support?

[Anky]

When I goto the controller tab under controls settings, nothing shows up, even with my xbox core controller plugged in, and with my gladiator nxt evo.

Is there x-input support? is there support for flight sticks?

Oh thats strange,

There should be Xbox controller support. I'll have to take a look into that.

There's no support for flight sticks at the moment sorry.

[Anky]

id love to help test flightsticks, im sure others would too, if you want to use the beta branch feature of steam to release a flight stick release and get feedback from people with flightsticks.

[Zer0]

That would be pretty cool. I'm more of a mouse and keyboard type of person, So having extra insight on Controller & joysticks would be nice.

The controller page should kinda work with the flight stick bindings, but still will need some coding to make it work properly.

Although at the moment if it doesn't work then I'll have to sort that out. When the next patch is released I'll start work on a beta branch for us to test new inputs if you would like.

I expect it to be around 1 month from now, for the beta branch to be ready. As my main focus right now is on finishing up the upcoming patch.

If you want, can join our discord so we can plan stuff out with abit more ease.

awesome, glad to know

I have a quick question, Does the Xbox controller inputs work when you fly the aircraft and its the controller controls panel/UI not displaying? Or does it just not register the Xbox controller in general?

[Anky]

i have not tried yet, ill try that now

[Anky]

the xbox core controller interacts with the game, it lacks multiple functions, i can orbit the camera and change the camera mode, and change the throttle and shoot the guns, but the throttle changes instantly from 0 to 110% there is no inbetween, and i cannot steer the plane

[Zer0]

Okay, Thanks, I'm assuming with some changes to the controller options that should fix itself, If you reduce throttle sens it should fix that part but I'll make the controller control panel always active, currently it would disable if no controller was found. But seems its not working the way it should.

I just loaded the game. Sad to see there is no support for a joystick, yet. I'll come back and play when that happens.

[Zer0]

Yea, I haven't put much focus into Joystick compatibility, being a small indie its relatively hard, I've also made Vincemus in a way that is more focused for mouse aim.

Although in saying that my brother just gave me a joystick for my birthday :D thank you to him and I'll start looking at adding it into Vincemus and is planned for Patch 1.1.

Which is after the Patch 1.03 and will symbolise the end of the Early Access title.

[Zer0]

I've been doing some experiments for my next game which you can see in the Vincemus Discord https://discord.gg/375gJsq :D

which allows for modular Input compatibility, So in theory if you swap Input modes, it'll swap the bindings to whatever Input mode being either Joystick, Mouse or Controller your using.

If its easy to implement to Vincemus I'll add it in, if not I'm planning to remap the way Unity does inputs so we can use whatever to rebind keybindings.

If you would like you can try to rebind the controller settings to the Joystick and use the align camera mode. Although I myself haven't tested yet. I'm not to sure how that well it will work and if the current input system can detect Joystick.
