Flight Stick Support?

[Dagger]

I have a Logitech Wingman extreme 3D flight Stick,
will it work with this game?

I use a joystick. It works just fine.
It has full joystick support, and an area for mapping the controls and adjusting a variety of settings.

edit: I highly recommend playing this game with a joystick. It is after all, a flying game at its core.

thanks, i got it working, only problem is that when i have the throttle at 100% its giving 85% throttle, and when i have it at zero its giving 15% throttle. and i have the deadzone set to zero... >.>

Remap the controls in settings. Make sure the slider on the joystick, is in the right position when you set it.

edit: You might have to do it a couple times to figure out the proper position.
Also, I suggest building a basic plane, with flaps, and launch it. While sitting on the runway, go through the controls and make sure they are correct. They could be reversed, or settings mismatched.

welp it turns out this joystick, when plugged in, and even after its unplugged; will cause the keyboard controlls for movement to mess up and i cant use my hatswitch to manuver at all on my flight stick.
and with max sensitivity and zero on dead zone, i got 90% at 100% and 10% at 0%... im starting to think this thing is old, seeing as it requires a 15 pin adapter to use it in a usb port.

You should also build a basic rocket, with RCS and RCS fuel, and go through the translation controls, so you have the buttons to your liking. Assuming your joystick has a the extra features, Hatswitch etc.

You need to go through your controls and make sure they are all correct. Likely they are conflicting with eachother.

There is different sections for all the different vehicle types. Because each uses the 3 axis differently. And they use the translation controls differently. The settings are actually a bit complex in this game. Getting them tweaked takes some effort.

edit: Hey Squad. It would be so much easier if we could access these settings IN GAME....

yeah, more than likely ill just buy a new flight stick as this one is from 1995 so its kinda old, ive had issues with it in flight sim, where its not that responsive.

Joystick is bugged and squad has no intention to remove joystick bugs. They think playing using keyboard is more "fun".

well, i found a complex mixture of deleting some keyboard commands altogether so theyre blank, adding left stick for movement , then using xpadder outside of kerbal gave me what i needed, im on an xbox pad, have ALL commands in flight mapped to it, never use keyboard But, it wasnt easy tbh, few rethinks til i settled.. keyboard sucks for this game to me, i still need the mouse in VAB obv. big ole joystick sounds hella fun
