Thrustmaster TCM 16000 Hotas & VR - game doesn't recognize it

[tomato attack 💢]

I can't set my TCM 16000 Hotas in the controller setup. the game wont recognize it. i have the newest thrustmaster driver installed. OS is win 10 64bit. the hotas works fine in other games like elite dangerous, star citizen,x plane 11.... i tried to delete the files in the C:\Users\***\AppData\Local\RSG\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor .. and ran a game file verification. It still won't recognize my joystick or the throttle.

I tried a complete uninstall and reinstall... same the game doesn't recognize my Hotas. I even tried the joystick alone.. with and without TARGET sofware also.

.. ok after i looked into other ppl with HOTAS problems.. i tried to run the 64 bit exe manually.. not through steam .. and suddenly the game recognizes the HOTAS and i can use it, as long as i start the game manually through the windows explorer. .. but the problem is.. i can't play in VR that way. How can i force steam to use the 64bit exe. i tried to move the 32bit folder in the binaries and even renamed the folder. still doesn't work.

and there is another issue .. the throttle doesn't work like it should either. .. I'll test more .. when i get near the 2h mark and i still can't solve those problems I'm going to request a refund of the game.

hats on the throttle and on the joystick are not working either, but looks like the devs know about that already.

ok, throttle works as it should .. it's only missing a full stop button, function,.. since my throttle doesn't have a feelable 0 or a middle. it gets funky when i go from full throttle down to full reverse. and i had to inverse the throttle.

so, now i only need to get VR working when i start the 64bit exe manually or get the Hotas working when i start through steam

i dont know how steam can still start the 32bit exe when i removed the 32 folder and that 32 exe from the everspace game folder.

i moved the Win32 folder with the steam_api.dll out of the game folder .. Everspace starts in VR but the Hotas still won't work.


Ok, i'm giving up now .. i'll just wait for a reply for some days.

I cant think of anything else you could try but if you have voice attack you could use that as a voice control instead of using you joystick.

i do have voice command, but that won't help me with my current issues

Hey there! About your issue in VR mode, I find it strange that Steam is the problem, but you can play VR without Steam by creating a shortcut of the game's 64-bit .exe and adding the command-line parameter -vr (Right-click on the shortcut -> properties -> append at "execute target").

Exact same setup and issue as OP. I can echo his findings: running the 64 bit executable from the folder does recognize the HOTAS, but no VR. Unfortunately running a shortcut of that .exe with the -vr flag does run in VR, but not recognizing the HOTAS. Anything else we can try?

Try to assign your HOTAS bindings in non-VR mode, they should get recognized in VR then!

You would think, but unfortunately that's not the case. Can anyone confirm if this is specific to this controller type, or if this is an issue across the board for all joysticks in VR mode?

Thanks for looking into this issue, as I'm really hoping to get my duo t6000 FCS's to work with this. Are you looking into patching this so we don't have to launch manually from the 64 bit exe to get the t16000s recognized in config options? would be nice/seamless to launch right from steam, etc....(read the sticky, too many reddit posts, using TARGET properly)

The current version on Steam (1.3.0) should recognize your HOTAS in VR mode. If you're still having the issue, could you check your game version from the bottom left corner in the main menu?
