Is this something we can change?
Or is output protocol something that only the guy who makes these handles?
There is a contingent of users (myself included) who would love to have this spoof the hotas modes for Xbox one& ps4 (and other systems.)
I have played with this for awhile, so far here is how I have discovered.
I used a hotas one & rudder petal setup (in pc mode) to convert to a game pad setup on the Xbox one. Using this, I have a preset to allow blazing angels 1 Xbox one flightstick support. (Also works using x360.). I was able to add a “ engine starter” button as well to the game.
I was able to get blazing angels 2 hotas support working on the Xbox 360 using game pad mode. (Should also work on the Xbox one if it is ever made backwards compatible.)
I have been able to get hawx 2 to work with the hotas on the Xbox360. The odd thing here is that the game allows you to select a flight stick control scheme, even if you are using a game pad. Too bad most games don’t allow this.
I have been able to plug in a real Xbox 360 flightstick, and the device both authenticates & recognizes the titan two as a flightstick. (I have no idea how the Xbox 360 console determines is a controller is a flightstick or game pad.). This allows some Xbox 360 games that “auto switch” control schemes to a hotas setup to be compatible with pc hotas controls. (Ace combat 6, Hawx 1). Of course, this is really one useful if you have a broken flight controller, or want to substitute a better quality pc hotas controller.
I was able to use method this for “real rudder” support, allowing thrustmaster rudder pedals instead of twist stick/rudder bar yaw control. Basically, I just convert and replace the input from the twist rudder or rudder bar with the input from the usb rudder pedals. Since I hate twist/rudder bars (I am a real world pilot) it’s a big improvement for me.
Unfortunately, although it appears to authenticate, the hotas one (in Xbox mode) does not work on the Xbox one using the titan 2. It must use a tweaked usb output or something that the titan 2 is not understanding or formatting wrong. I hope that because this is authenticating already, it will be a simple fix to the titan two to output correctly, but who knows for sure.
I have asked for Xbox hotas protocol to be added on these forums, but I guess it is a very low priority at this time (and would probably require console tuner to purchase the official Xbox hotas to figure out the protocol changes.)
I don’t have a ps3/ps4, so I haven’t been able to figure out if the titan two can either add flightstick or real rudder support to other games. I assume converting a gamepad to hotas controls will work, but I have no idea if ps3/ps4 will authenticate ps3/4 hotas controllers to allow scripts or controller substitutions to be run.
(I would imagine a pc hotas being used on ps3 ace combat games would be a big improvement as well.)
