Joystick support

Recommended Posts

Is there currently any joystick support in the linux port?

 

I have a Saitek Cyborg Evo and a Logitech Wingman Extreme. Both are running fine under linux, but none is not recognized in Arma 3

Hi. Perhaps you're helped by the controller guide our QA team has posted here?

I'm sorry, I must have overlooked this.

 

I tried this method now but unfortunately this is a little bugy. After I did the controller mapping in steam Arma 3 recognized the joystick (Saitek), but it only saw one direction of each axis. So i could map for example the action "turn left" to "Axis X-" while turning the stick to the left. But when I tried to map the action "trun right" to "Axis X+" while turning the stick to the right nothing happend.

 

Now, after I rebooted the PC and started the game again all axes where suddenly recognized. I mapped everything, tried the settings but saw that I did a mistake in the mapping, went back to the settings menu and the odd behaviour started again...

So, currently I cannot say when this happens and when not.

 

But there is a second strange behaviour. When the axes are recognized correctly, pushing the stick forward is recognized as "Axis Y-". But when the odd behaviour occurs it is recognized as "Axix Y+".

 

I uploaded a screenshot here:

the white mapping is the correct one which I did when all the axes where recognized correctly. Both times I pushed the stick forward.

 

 

I will try my second stick now to see if this is related to the stick or a general problem. I will add a bug report then later.

Btw, do you think it is possible to add Linux and MacOS to the OS's in the bug tracker?

 

Thx,

Ben

Yes, please post specifics to FT and we'll forward it to VP.

 

On FT you should be able to fill in any OS and OS Version as they are edit fields?

I actually meant some kind of preset so you can select the OS in the filter section, but typing linux in the search field does the job too.

I posted the bug here:

Could someone else please test his controllers and give some feedback?
