Hello all,
I have just picked up a Thrustmaster Hotas 4 to use on my PC for FlightGear. I have been trying to get all the settings done, but have a problem with recognizing twist and rocker axis.
There are two "modes" for the unit, which either uses just twist as an axis, or also turns on the rocker.
In mode 1, the rocker is disabled, and axis 3 is controlled by twisting the joystick. This works as expected, but I wish to use the rocker for rudder controls.
In mode 2, what is SUPPOSED to happen, is the rocker is enabled, and is added as axis 4. However, for me, when I enable this mode, Flightgear recognizes BOTH the twist and rocker as axis 3, controlling the same inputs. I can never in any configuration get Flightgear to recognize the 4th axis to be used for rudder control.
I have gone into Windows to calibrate the unit, and in there, all the controls and respective axis are working properly. It differentiates axis 3 and axis 4 while in "mode 2".
I am not sure how to proceed at this point, but I deeply wish to use the rocker as an axis for either rudder or left/right brake control.
Also, does anyone have a binding/XML file for the Hotas 4 for Flightgear (2018.3.1) ?
Any and all help is appreciated. Thank you very much!
