So i decided, since work finished early today, to see if an update fixes the controller.
First i get an Xbox games login requirement using my email, so i do that and get an error, and have to force the program closed via steam.
I try again and am greeted with the (expected) required update message
I'm now waiting for the fifteen GB update to download.
I'll report back to let you know if my joystick works after this
E: yeah that took 20 minutes to download and another ten to install. Joystick throttle still doesn't function correctly in flight, even though it maps correctly
Check what preset is mapped in the controller configuration page. I’ve had it revert to the default map before, but the old preset was still saved.
15GB sounds about right for missing a few months. IMO, that’s a relatively small update. I’ve got a ~400GB install with all world updates installed, and another ~400GB of third party mods on top of that. 15GB is about the space for a single study level airliner with no liveries and a couple of handcrafted airports. This is not particularly out of the ordinary compared to the other pilots in my virtual airline. It’s a big game with big mods, people want very high resolution textures, detailed models, and high fidelity sounds.
So the throttle control is mapped correctly, and i didn't have any other throttle related controls mapped to the joystick.
Granted it's a cheap Logitech Extreme 3D Pro, but it works fine in Squadrons. When I check the mapping in the controller configuration it shows a nice gradual 0-100% throttle increase with no sudden changes as the throttle is increased. In-game the throttle jumps all over the place and arbitrarily lands on (usually) 0 or 100% throttle, seemingly at random.
