HOTAS support?

[Thaumaturgist]

Does the game support HOTAS (hands on throttle and stick) similar to, lets say, elite dangerous?

[VoltDriver]

Would like to know this too.

EDIT: Refer to the sticky. Answer is "Not at launch, but we are looking into it."

[Thaumaturgist]

aww, that sucks. I tried the demo, it was great, but feels too awkward to play like this, especially if you are used to both space games and trucker sims.

what is a good hotas for couch play

Valve Time has me worried here. I don't buy stuff on promises it will be implemented "later". That's what early access is for.

Hi everyone!

The game supports 6DoF for both the truck and external space walks. As for controllers, we want to support as many options as we can at launch and keep updating post-launch to provide our players with the best experience. For now, we can confirm keyboard+mouse and controller setup. HOTAS is a big priority for us.

We hope this helps!

Seeing that it already was "big priority" one year ago, but today there isn't even key rebinding yet, I guess we'll have to wait for a long time to see this feature.

well could try and use the emulation/mapping software for our controllers. I just hope we can get more precise control from sticks and/or game pads.

HOTAS/HOSAS support please. And Tobii tracker too.

done testing with joystick Gremlin (https://github.com/Snoothy/UCR) , and must say its working great with Hotas + pedals

Hows the handling? can you move the stick just slightly to get smaller movements?

[Zedd]

I'm also looking forward to HOTAS, but I gotta say I'm already getting good results with an X-box controller- might tweak sensitivity a bit to personal taste.

it works as a virtual controller its a 1:1 scale of input, unless you do axes to button then its on or off

So as long as the stick is set as a actual controller stick and not a keyboard input I should get more better movement?

Very reassuring, indeed. I'll pass for now.

Just adding my support to this. I'll wait for sim hardware support before I buy into this. Looks like Monster has done super job here, but you're leaving half the sim community on the table by not supporting the relevant hardware.

I play Elite with 2 joys, One for rotations and another for Truster, that is a must on this
Put that and I buy
