Hello.

I finally bought Leo Podnar BU0836A and modded my Thrustmaster T.Flight HOTAS X throttle. The throttle is visible on Windows, all twelve buttons and four axis work, but MWO doesn't see any them.

My other joystick which I use for aiming work allright.

Can anybody tell me what's wrong and help me get back to playing?

did you assign values in the controller settings in the game settings?
be sure the axis are set to 'analog' throttle or 'analog' turn, not sure if theres an analog torso turn. im not in the game at the moment, does the game see them as joystick 0 and joystick 1? if you didnt reset the values it might be seeing the new circuit board in the hotas as a 3rd controller?

maybe you can use target or a keyboard emulator to assign a letter to a button then assign the letter to a game command..

I use a T16000m joystick and a Tflight Hotas x throttle myself

I tried to bind the axes and buttons in MWO but none are recognized.

I even tried with the warthog disconnected, the two unnecessary axes of the throttle disconnected and two other USB ports, but no luck.

When I previously used T.Flight HOTAS X throttle through its own joystick board, right hand warthog being joystick 0 and left hand throttle joystick 1, I got all working. I could assign analog throttle, analog turn and all the buttons of both controllers without any problem.

I also tested that I can assign buttons through AutoHotkey so I can work around them, but how to deal with the needed analog axes?

EvilC has Universal Joystic/Control Remapper done with Autohotkey, that maybe could be used to combine both joysticks as one, but problem is how can I then use my Warthog as mouse withm my absolute mouse aim script?

Hah, I finally found the problem!

For some reason it occurred to me that maybe MWO doesn't like the fact that the X and Y axes were NOT connected in the BU0836A chip. After connecting them to throttle and twist lever pots, MWO started to see all four axes and twelve buttons.

I'm all happy now
