new player, help with xbox control please?

[zero]

Hi guys, just downloaded the game and was quite excited to play. I play a few space sims and my xbox control works quite well with them so I figured I would try it here. I cant even get through the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ first tutorial it is so bad. Am I missing something?? I tried going through the configuration in game and its still unplayable. help?

Thanks

edit: Even with the sensitivity completely turned down my aircraft still goes into a nose dive with the slightest touch of the control stick -_- I have never had so much trouble just trying to get controls to work

I don't mean to sound downputing, but why are you using an Xbox controler? Mouse and Keyboard is the easiest to learn and the most effective in Arcade. Use a joystick if you're more comfortable with that. I use that for Historical mode. But really, Mouse and Keybaord is the best way to go.

I don't have a joystick currently, and the xbox control works quite well for the space flight sim I play. The flight/axis principles are the same here, I don't see why it should be any different.

It's different because it's a lot different of a flight model than a space sim. You could always go and tweak the controls to your liking, but you're still much better off using mouse and keyboard.

I use it for a regular flight sim too, works quite well. Besides, Im not commenting on whether or not its the best thing to use...Im saying I cant get it to work even barely :( Im not sure what the issue is. Going through the manual configuration it seems to be reading the axis neutral/max points incorrectly, which may be why it is so overly senstive. But I cant tell for certain. Keep having to go through the tutorial to test it.

Are you using one of the actual xbox controllers? I've had problems with logitech ones reading inputs weird... Also, you may have to change over your control scheme to "Simplified" or something like that, I remember it not being quite too intuitive last time I tried to use a controller... It did work, just never liked it nearly as much as mouse control

thank you for your reply. It is one of the official/genuine microsoft controls. After trying the manual config numerous times without much success I decided to choose the 'clear all' controls option and I picked realistic controls and reset to xbox control/mouse and it now seems to detect the axis properly. I will try to see if I can adjust the settings now and make it work :)

Good luck! Do tell how it works out. It may have been the way that the controls switch when you're in mouse mode and go into full real, but I'm not sure, and I don't have my controller handy to go messing with stuff to figure it out really. If it does work out, and hopefully it does, then I'll see you in the air sometime. Anything else feel free to ask.

this topic makes me curious as to how good or bad the controls will be on the ps4

WoWP has bad xbox controller support also, I was hoping this would work better in this game.

I prefer mouse + keyboard but as I have cubital tunnel I cant rest my arms on a desk or use a mouse for more than an hour now so I have to use use controllers to balance out the time. The rigors of 30 years of M+KB gaming cought up to me.
