Joystick Support?

[devdog15]

So I just bought a second hand Logitech Extreme 3D Pro joystick, and wanted to know if this has joystick compatability? Thanks in advance for help.

I did play with Vincemus with a HOTAS setup given to me by my brother, but I wouldn't say Vincemus was made for joystick. Most controls did not work (rebinding of controls looks for buttons not axis's unless it detects a controller).

Vincemus currently only supports controllers or mouse and keyboard and was built to be played with mouse and keyboard.

I'll look to making joysticks viable in the future

Why on God's green earth would someone create a combat flight sim in 2022 with no HOTAS support? I am deeply puzzled. Not upset or mad, just scratching my head in wonder.

The game was made with the intention of mouse controls only, but has expanded to have partial controller support. With adding HOTAS support I have found it to be tedious and very complex with the current input system.

I'm very sorry for this as I bet it would be a very cool gameplay option. Hopefully down the line I will add HOTAS support into the game. but for now my priority is in making more content for the game.

And I, of course, humbly respect that for certain. All my ranting aside the game is rendered beautifully and you should be very proud of how it turned out. I will keep looking and hoping! Until then I sincerely wish you the best of success. I apologize because my comment was Way snottier than I had intended in the moment. There was to have been a light hearted ribbing nature to it, not a D*** move. Mea culpa. Perhaps I need to get off my high horse and use the mouse and keyboard in order to enjoy the game as it was conceived.

Caveat: I went out yesterday and procured a "controller" and after work today I am going to attempt to get used to it!! Wish me luck! And I wish you success.

No worries as you said I'm sure you meant no hate. I'm actually quite surprised with how the game turned out, with Vincemus being my first public game it is a very new experience and I've learnt alot from developing it.

Thank you for supporting us by purchasing the game and leaving a review. I hope you will enjoy Vincemus and our future titles :) I'll make sure to add HOTAS support in the next game

I hope you will enjoy your controller/mouse and keyboard experience.
