Elite Dangerous Throttle w/ a Single Trigger?
Posted: Thu Apr 15, 2021 12:42 am
For those who play Elite Dangerous, have you been able to control a thrust axis or throttle (both directions) with a single trigger or half a joystick push? I know we can use one trigger/ half-axis for forward and a separate one for reverse.
I’m trying to get all 6 axes with analog control. We have 5 currently; each joystick gives 2, and the triggers together give the 5th.
I thought to take two analog inputs from my controllers of choice (dual joysticks) and put one on L2 and one on L3. In gTuner I can get the full range from -100 to +100 but Elite Dangerous seems to be ignoring the sign. It’s more than just the absolute value, however. When I move the joystick so it’s at, say, -10 Elite Dangerous acts like it’s set at +90... when at -90 Elite Dangerous acts like it’s at +10. If it was just the absolute value then I’d assume it’s not possible but with this odd behavior I’m wondering what might be happening and if I can do anything about it.
Might not be possible. Elite Dangerous might only allow for a trigger to control half the range.
