thrustmaster not supported

[NuclearSnail]

So, to everybody like me that can't get their thrustmaster hotas to work, turns out that even though it's a microsoft Xbox controller, microsoft does not support them with any cloud game. So basically, thrustmaster gear doesn't work and never will. If I'm wrong, let me know. This is just what I've been able to find out so far.

One big problem I had was elevator trim. I wanted that to be the reverse of the above, but I could not find a way to enter Axis 5+ or Axis 5-. I ended up leaving those as is. If you have the HOTAS 1, make sure Xbox vs PC switch is in correct position.

Also, configurations are per plane, so make sure that what you have is applicable to the plane you are flying. So if you see for example the Diamond as the plane shown and do your configuration, if you are actually flying the Cesna 172, the controls will probably be mapped wrong.

this is what microsoft has to say about it:

"No, flight controllers from Thrustmaster are not compatible with Microsoft cloud gaming:
Flight controllers
Thrustmaster flight controllers, such as the T.Flight Hotas One, are not compatible with cloud gaming or streaming modes."

Not a clue. Thrustmaster is one of the most common flight controllers in use.

Because when they mean cloud gaming, it isn't this. What they mean is where the actual game is running on a server in the cloud and they are steaming the video back to you. Yes it is horribly confusing.

The HOTAS 1 most certainly IS supported for this game. They sell a version of it for this game. It is pretty much identical to the normal HOTAS 1 except for branding and the color.

no they meant this. This is a cloud game. Look it up. Just ask google if thrustmaster flight controls are supported by microsoft cloud or streaming games. You'll see for yourself.

I'm done. They sell a version of the HOTAS 1 FOR THIS GAME. I realize you are horribly frustrated, and I wish I could see what you are doing wrong, but it can be made to work. REALLY.

I will grant you the control user interface absolutely sucks. It was clearly made by an engineer. That isn't a complement, and I was a software engineer for many many many years.

i agree with you. since the entire game is not cloud-based, but you just had to download the 11gb. so it should work. i have the feeling that the end consumer simply got an alpha version of the game. that would explain why so many settings are so user-unfriendly.

a month ago i saw a video from gamestar. they said that they could now try out the alpha version of the game. i was already wondering because it was only a month away from release.

the game IS cloud based. It streams everything from the cloud.

who me? I've been on steam sense 2010. This is a genuine problem, and I'm only saying what microsoft tech support has told me. And EVERY SINGLE OTHER search will also confirm this. If you don't believe me, get in the microsoft games help line. find out for yourself.

there's also this. half of this is a plug for thrustmaster, but this guy also talks about how it's not compatible.

Go to google. In the search type this, "Are thrustmaster flight controls compatible with cloud and streaming games for PC?" It will tell you this:

No, Thrustmaster flight controls are not compatible with cloud and streaming games on PC. Thrustmaster products can only support games that are installed on the platform being used, such as a PC or console.

this is a problem with the game not me. The fact that you have over 30 threads about it proves it.

So an internet search (that isn't even properly understood), trumps an actual developer (actually two developers) who have stated flat out that it IS supported.

You are trying too hard. Make it a little less obvious would you?

everybody is missing the point. You're so caught up on the compatibility issue that you're not hearing the bit 35 threads are about, which is controls don't work. Eliminating compatibility all together, the problem still remains. A lot of players are having issues with controls being completely ignored. If it's not a compatibility issue, then it's a bug in the game. Whatever the cause is, I'm not the only one. So it's a real issue with the game. With that I'm unsubscribing from this thread. I'll get no help here. You guys have all already decided not to even listen.
