Linux: HOTAS analogue input not working - Resolved.

Post by niccommander » Sun, 26. Jun 22, 13:59

I have a "Thrustmaster T.16000M" and a "Thrustmaster TWCS Throttle".
Both work fine on Windows and I can see the analoge Input working in the Gamecontroller settings in KDE options.

However X4 isn't reacting to any analogue input and does not recognize the axis in the control-settings either.
Digital buttons work fine on both, the joystick and the Throttle.

Having the Controller-Setting in the Steam settings for X4 set to "default", "deactivated" and "enabled" results in the same behavior.

I'm using kubuntu 20.04:

Re: Linux: HOTAS analogue input not working

Post by spookywatcher » Sun, 26. Jun 22, 17:08

In the "In Game Settings" before you try to assign axis's and buttons and what not...be sure to "load one of the HOTAS profiles" first. Go to settings controller settings load profile and then select one of the thrustmaster profiles and then go back and reassign the axis's and buttons to your liking. Then save as a new profile.

If I don't do that then I get the same behavior you describe.

Hope it helps.

Hi,

You should be able to solve this by changing "Gamepad Mode" under Settings->Controls to "off" rather than "Only with Controllers". It should still behave if you use an additional controllers if you have them too even with this setting.
