Thrustmaster Firestorm Dual Power 3 Gamepad Not Working :(

Post by Psi Diver X » Sun, 7. Dec 03, 23:19

Does anyone else have a Firestorm Dual Power gamepad that works with X2?

The game doesn't seem to recognize any input from the controller whatsoever, but it's listed in the "Input Device" on the X2 launcher.

I have the latest drivers from Thrustmaster for my controller, but nothing seems to help. The game simply refuses to recognize my gamepad.

I have a backup Microsoft Sidewinder that works perfectly with the game, but I'm assuming it does because the Sidewinder does not have any force feedback installed. :(

Yes, I have nearly the same pad... Firestorm dual Power 3, and it doesnt respond too... never... ever.

I tried everthing to make it working and gave up, we need a patch here...
Hopefully the patch announced for the next weekend will fix it.

btw.: Why have you written "pad now working"? I think you mean "not working", dont you?

Corrected, sorry for the typo.

But yeah, I hope the patch addresses this problem too. I bought the gamepad hoping it would work with X2. :(

Haha, I bought it almost only for X2, too... and now this...
(with extra many buttons because they continue to refuse mouse point and click interface... *sigh*)

As a matter of fact, now that I re-evaluate the controller, it is indeed a Thrustmaster Firestorm Dual Power 3.

Thrustmaster's latest drivers label the controller as 2 & 3. :?

Oh well, back to my crappy 9 button plastic sidewinder. :evil:
