This worked way better than some other suggestions, like X360 Controller Emulator. Thanks! Kinda weird to see how many are (quite angry) defending their mouse use in Starfield flying and are even saying that there is not enough flying to justify stupid flightstick usage. LOL. I LOVE IT!

@vectieba 11 месяцев назад

Great video! I have been enjoying Starfield alot. I love flying in SC and ED for the immersion but even though the flying is more arcade than simulator in Starfield, I still enjoy it. The HOTAS just makes it more fun in my opinion.

"Starfield doesn't support HOTAS controllers . . . " I'll take "Things I wish I knew before buying a $200 controller," Alec! But seriously, thank you so much for making this video! I've been trying to figure out why Starfield doesn't even recognize my controller, and now I have a solution! A slightly complicated and tricky solution for a techno-barbarian like me, but a solution nonetheless.

Thank you for the video. It seems that developers of space sims are increasingly favoring specific input methods. Many of the games I enjoy now primarily support either keyboard/mouse or an Xbox controller, leaving other input schemes less supported.

@russelljensen3705 11 месяцев назад

Hey Peeps- The two pieces of software described here do indeed work as mentioned, but I've run into a few caveats and challenges. Namely: 1. If you're using a sliding throttle, you have to set it up as an Axis Splitter, with the input being 'Axes, X' and the output for the xbox controller being "Axes, LY" for high, and "Axes, LY", for low. Actually works pretty well (using a Saitek Pro x-56 Rhino throttle). 2. The 'movement' of the ship is controller by the "RX" and "RY" Axes of the xbox controller, not the LX or LY. NOTE: If you're used to rotating your ship around by twisting the joy stick, you're outta luck here. The joystick works like a mouse. 3. DPAD can be mapped to a 4 way HAT button, and you can use that to quickly and easily move between your ship systems and adjust the power. However- I have run into a problem that I don't know how to solve (anybody got suggestions?) When you go into your mission menu in your ship, it seems like your mouse and HOTAS are fighting for control. Makes it damned near impossible to navigate the mission selection or system navigation. Anybody got any ideas? The goal would be to only have the hotas work during actual space travel and not menu work. Awesome vid. Thanks all!

@MKRocker2012 11 месяцев назад

There's an option in the settings menu that if checked will let you "seamlessly" switch between M&K and Controller. I'm guessing what's happening in your case is that the game is still detecting inputs from your HOTAS when you go into the menu and you would need to set some dead zones.

@russelljensen3705 11 месяцев назад

@@MKRocker2012 So I played around with it some more this morning. I found that setting (was already on) and I think I know what the issue is... When you're mapping a slider to the LS 'y' axis, you can't really define where the 'neutral' point is for the throttle slider and the software is honestly just kinda guessing. It leads to some interesting behaviors, like, when the throttle is all the way back it suddenly thinks you are accelerating. I tried to create a filter that amplified the LS Y axis maximum and decreased the LS Y axis minimum and now it kinda works? The neutral point for the the throttle (according to the UCR software) is way up in where I would expect to be accelerating, so the actual throw of the throttle between 0 and full speed is short. That said, if it IS there, I can successfully use the mouse and switch between the two. If anybody has any good ideas on how to 'zero' the throttle position using this software, I'd love to see them. I'll keep working on it, but in reality, the best fix would simply be for Starfield to have HOTAS drivers.

@JB818 11 месяцев назад

Thank you for taking the time to put this instruction together. It was very helpful, i do think your way is better than JoyToKey so the centering resets itself. Quite disappointed that it isn't native to the game. It is so easy for anyone and everyone to critique the purpose, but for the intent of your video - you knocked it out the park and I among others are thankful. It's taken me a little time to get used to the thrusters but after some time in the Sim it feels OK. But I do have a question that you might be able to help me with. I struggle with my mouse and keyboard working after I've been using my HOTAS. For example I just landed on a planet after some space combat, now the mouse won't move my view and it defaults to the HOTAS. To this point, the only solution I've found is saving and reloading once I've landed which remedies it. A minor inconvenience but worth being able to push that throttle forward and swing my ship around with thrusters effortlessly. Thank you again and I hope you keep creating as I'll be watching!

@mirshia5248 10 месяцев назад

yes this is a big issue, you either have joysticks works or gamepad or keyboard, not both same time

@widam 11 месяцев назад

Great video, one thing you can do is bind RS button and add the hat or 2d controller in the same action to use the thrusters lateral and up/down, so combat is more like Elite, you can orbit the target.

@caaront 11 месяцев назад

@SWATStrachan 11 месяцев назад

The input controls for the flight mode are so limited that I don't think that a simulated HOTAS setup will actually make much difference. For example, once you've unlocked the ship thruster skill, to be able to use the ships thrusters (for vertical and lateral motion), you need to hold down a modifier key which switches between attitude control and thruster control, there is no separate input just for the thrusters! So even with a HOTAS, wouldn't that just mean that the best that you can hope for is being able to momentarily swap your stick from controlling direction, to controlling lateral movement? Starfield was touted as the next big thing in space games, but it's not. The piloting part feels like some kind of mini-game, one that can be skipped entirely in most instances by using fast travel. Frankly it's just Fallout 4 on different planets. Without extending the inputs for starship control, or introducing native HOTAS control, it'll never be taken seriously as a space game.

@lillen141 11 месяцев назад

You are so wrong hehe. Using joytokey you can map everything much easier. And with hotas it feels alot like elite dangerous. But haters gonna hate. I love the space combat with hotas in this game. I think its more fun the elite. You got more options here.

Thank you for the excellent video! Subscribed. I managed to create a profile using my antique Logitech Wingman Extreme 3D and it works fantastically. A question, is there a way for the HOTAS throttle to be progressive; ie 0-100? After giving it some thought with regards to the xbox controller 'throttle' LS Yaxis, it's not controlling in a progressive manner, if i'm explaning it correctly. Is this correct?

@zacharypump5910 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for the video, but were you able to map strafing thrusters to a thumb stick? Starfield expects you to hold down a button on the controller to be in strafing mode, no clue how that would work on a remap. Edit: other thing I'm wonder is a throttle you move and leave in a position, whereas the left stick of the controller is used to move a "virtual thruster" position of the ship.. Which would be pretty unnatural. Is there a way to deal with that as well?

I used the Axis to Axis for an X56 Throttle - Axes X -Throttle Forward - Axes Y -Throttle Back to Controller Axes LX and LY - the throttle goes forward and back but the ship also rolls left and right - Anyone else having this issue. Also when back on land if throttle is forward your character moves as well.

Thank for the video - this seems a much better option than the buggy emulator Ive seen around. Im a little late to this party but Im hoping I can get some help from anyone who can... I have the driver and app downloaded and configured, I can see my joystick in UCR and it moves the emulated xbox axis as it should be (referring to blue bars in the UCR config edit screen, my stick axis and the xbox axis move together) HOWEVER, nothing translates into starfield itself, so Im lost? Also, does anyone know if this would conflict with using antimicro (a joytokey or joystick gremlin - like - prgm) as I only need the pitch/yaw (R stick) X/Y axis for the single purpose of the AUTO RECENTERING which it wont do unless emulating an xbox controller, otherwise, I have all other bindings good to go in antimicro and would rather not mess with all that again. BTW, I did try UCR first without any other possible conflicting prgms running, including antimicro, so thats not the issue. I really appreciate any help and DTEA, your awesome and I wish you well on your channel prioritizing - Ill be along for the ride over there too!

I cant wait to see this mod great job bud. I can see this and future mods in the future turn starfield into basically what star citizen promised but didnt deliver. Like seriously this does have the potential to become a master piece/ loved as much as Skyrim. Especially when you compare it to how much of a mess Skyrim was. Just like how Skyrim and halo reach, and many other games that people said would crash and burn because of the major issues, bugs, lack of features. They went from disasters to iconic master pieces. I believe and can see starfield going through the same thing. But i can also see the modders expediting the process to fix it alot faster tho imo.

It falls far short of Elite Dangerous and Star Citizen. I think many people were fooled by the trailers as to how immersive space would be. This game is basically just Fallout on multiple worlds, supplemented with an extremely dumbed down space flight model the quality of low rent mobile games. But props to the story and lore though.

@rvs55 11 месяцев назад

At least the player has a choice of FA off if they don't want airplanes in space. But the main takeaway is at least they get to manually launch the ship, or dock/land the ship. They get to fly inside the planet's atmosphere... or whatever it is they call it if the planet doesn't have an atmosphere... and they can choose to basically land anywhere. That's where Starfield's promised "exploration" bit falls short. Because you can't truly explore a planet if you can't fly over it and land wherever you want. They didn't state it explicitly, but they implied a kind of freedom that did not come with the game. But again I say, I'm not saying the game is complete shite. It's just that one aspect of it, despite it being pretty important. The shipbuilder is actually pretty entertaining. But other than that, the spaceship part of the game is basically meh.
