AlphaSputnik Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Hey everyone. I started playing Steel Beasts again recently. On the first day my X56 HOTAS was detected, SB wanted to use the throttle, i went to windows options and set Joystick as preferred device and it worked. Now it's been two days that my X56 Joystick is not recognized by the game, even though i : - Set it to prefferred device in Win10 Device options - Launch and relaunch the game with the X56 software running or killed - Plug or unplug the Throttle Every davices I saw online are not working... please help ! It worked once :c Thanks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ht-57 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 DId you check the control options in SB and make sure that the joystick box is selected? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ssnake Posted October 12, 2020 Members Share Posted October 12, 2020 Assigned the joystick axes? That would allow you to test if the signal as such is recognized. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaSputnik Posted October 12, 2020 Author Share Posted October 12, 2020 No matter how I move the joystick the axis won't move. Right now it's not centered but even if I press Alt J to center the joystick and then move it all around the axis are not moving at all. Just checked, still Win10 preferred device. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted October 12, 2020 Members Share Posted October 12, 2020 Okay, if there is nothing shown, my conclusion is that Steel Beasts receives no signal. I presume you have tried the Windows calibration option, to verify that it's not a hardware problem? Was there a recent driver update? Windows Update? Have you tried disconnecting other game controllers (even if they aren't set as the preferred device)? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaSputnik Posted October 12, 2020 Author Share Posted October 12, 2020 That's my conclusion as well. Windows calibration and DCS recognize the oystick perfectly, no recent driver update, no recent windows update (I installed SB 2 days ago and it worked fter installation), I have only TrackIR and Joystick plugged in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ssnake Posted October 12, 2020 Members Share Posted October 12, 2020 I must confess, at this point I'm running out of ideas too. I agree, it "should work". At least you still have the mouse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlphaSputnik Posted October 12, 2020 Author Share Posted October 12, 2020 Ok fun fact. when I set my THROTTLE as preferred device, it is detected and can control tank. When I set my Joystick, it doesn't move ! lol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaSputnik Posted October 13, 2020 Author Share Posted October 13, 2020 reinstalled the game. No changes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted October 13, 2020 Members Share Posted October 13, 2020 None were to be expected. Your experiment with the throttle control shows that IF Steel Beasts receives a signal, it uses it. It's just that the joystick's signal doesn't arrive. So the problem is "between the joystick and SB Pro PE", but neither IN the joystick or IN Steel Beasts. So, either a driver issue, or Windows not handling the "preferred device" right ... for whatever reason. We need to get rid of this "preferred device" thing, it's archaic. But again, that's something for a future Steel Beasts version, nothing that can be solved in the current one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaSputnik Posted October 13, 2020 Author Share Posted October 13, 2020 I hope you'll manage to get rid of it hahah. Hopefully I bought a One month license to try it again with new setup. Thanks for help Ssnake !! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHK111 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Hi Long ago I detected the same problem with my hotas. The main problem is that SB still does not detect both separate stick + throttle devices. It detects only 1 device and if your stick is on Windows as device # 2 and throttle as # 1, it must be changed in Windows. I used the JoyID to do the test and if it works without problem, you have to assign number # 1 to the stick: https://theairtacticalassaultgroup.com/forum/showthread.php?t=13009 On the other hand, let's see if DEVs deign to add the possibility of being able to configure Stick and throttle separately as in any other simulator or game that we are already in the 21st century.
