Thrustmaster T16000m FCS (not HOTAS) FIXED! (see post 16)

[Reaver]

Last time I played a year ago or so the T16000m joystick worked fine. Now Elite Dangerous calls it Generic Joystick and it is inoperable in-game. and Steam thinks it is a gamepad. I looked over the fixes in a search of the posts here but the ones I was shown were all 2 years old and Steam has changed it's interface with controllers since then so they don't apply now.

T16000m works fine in all other Steam games, but not Elite Dangerous, and it's just the joystick by itself, not a HOTAS setup.

Fixed it! What I had to do was override the generic joystick commands with new entries from the T16000m. For some reason, even though they were the same axis's and buttons mostly, the game didn't recognize them until I manually re-entered them with the joystick. Never had to do that before, but oh well. FIXED!

Ahh.. throttle and joystick sharing the same 'ID'. I think ED needs to identify buttons better when it comes to TM hotas.

Have to say I new about it but didn't think it was related to your issue.
Glad you figured it out.

I was having your problem and I am also using a thrustmaster t16000m. Whenever I used a controller while playing a different game my binding would disappear from Elite Dangerous. What I do now is in big picture mode I uncheck all the controllers. Then in properties in elite dangerous I go to controllers and disable all steam inputs. Maybe that will work for you. (I am also using the target software which was a pain in the butt to get working)

Bought T.16000M FCS Hotas for playing War Thunder, installed T.A.R.G.E.T program, opening that GUI program and inputing the script from their site for war thunder,
logging into War thunder, only Throttle is accelerating .
changed U.S.B inputs between Joystick and Throttole - still Joystick does not responds in game, turned off that -"EnhancedPowerManagementEnabled"
Windows function for T.160000 to 0.
+The joystick itself is working & Responding on "joy.cpl" & Responding when I I change keys inside the controls in the game , but can not assign the joystick itself for up down left right movement.
help please? I could use other Joystick keys inside the game but not the Joystick itself.

strange :

i just put back my old t.16000m after years without using it and x45 that i bought for 5€ .
i use x45 throttle and t.16000m joystick .

all detected as generic in game.
windows 11 / no saitek software nothing ;

i just plug . see light . start the game . bind as i wanted

all working like a charm !

Throttle issues with the t.16000m are because Windows thinks you are using the HOTAS throttle. The throttle on the joystick is assigned to GenericUSBController_Axis4. Here is the line I added to t.16000m script in MechWarrior 5's HOTAS script to get the throttle to respond.

AXIS: InAxis=GenericUSBController_Axis4, OutAxis=Throttle_Axis1, Invert=TRUE, Offset=0.5, DeadZoneMin=-0.08, DeadZoneMax=0.08, MapToDeadZone=TRUE

Maybe this helps.

I also find that in many games there is a conflict with the TARGET software so try running without TARGET if you hit a snag.
