Liftoff Frsky Taranis X9D support when streaming.

[pricey4907]

Hi, i have bought a steam link to play liftoff remotely in the living room but the game doesn't respond to the Taranis transmitter when it is streamed from another pc.
The steam link can see the transmitter and the host pc works perfectly when playing the game but streaming doesn't recognise the Taranis at all when using steamlink or in home streaming to a laptop.
I would love a solution to this if anyone has any ideas.
Thanks

Here's a workaround which will probably work better anyway. The only downsides are the cost of a flight controller/receiver and the extra battery drain from using your transmitter's radio instead of a usb connection.

I think your best bet is to use the method described by Donald J. Trump. A Taranis is not a regular game controller recognised by Steam, and is probably not picking up the input as controller data to be sent to the game running remotely. This is not something that is in our hands to fix, but you'll have to rely on 3rd party tools (such as Betaflight) that shifts the remote data to controller data.

Except he already mentioned it works perfectly well on the host PC, so it must get recognised as a game controller when connected over USB to the trainer port. As is to be expected, since that's the whole point of having the USB cable in the first place.

Well, that solution doesn't work at all under Linux. I built a dedicated USB HID device for my FlySky transmitter, using an Rx and an F4 flight controller. While the host OS recognises the device just fine (although it only detects 8 axes rather than all 10), it's not being detected by Steam, and therefore doesn't show up in Liftoff either.

My guess is that this is a limitation of Steam on Linux. The Steam Link runs Linux as well, to the best of my knowledge, and is therefore limited the same way.

I know on Windows there's some application you can run that takes any unsupported HID gamepad/joystick and presents it to the OS as an XBox 360 controller so that Steam recognises it. Something similar is probably also possible under Linux. However, don't ask me how that would apply to an appliance such as the Steam Link.
