How to permanently disable a specific controller?

Post by Helmut_AUT » Fri, 30. Nov 18, 21:11

Hi all,

Following problem occurs: When I start a game (load a savegame or new start) my Thrustmaster Wheel will be recognized and, being usually off-axis in one way or another, cause massive influence to the flight path of my ship.

I go to "Manage Controllers" and set it to "EMPTY SLOT" and it's fixed. I then did a "save profile" as "Custom 1"

Next time I load the game, the wheel is back and causing drama.

Not a very big issue, but a bit annoying. How to permanently fix?

Thanks, regards

Helmut

Also, another thing related to controls: TrackIR was suggested to be included, but right now it doesn't seem to activate (TIR5 64bit, updated games list)

I suppose it's just not included yet?

cheers

With your wheel issue, if it cannot be managed via game profile, calibration or deadzones, then you could perhaps try this by experimentation.

Thanks Alan,

I could try that, but I'd have to add every axis of the wheel to the shortcut in this way...

Is there no simple way to make what I can do in the "Manage controllers" window permanent? I.e. the game already provides a way to unselect a certain controller from being active, it just reaquires it on next start. Not sure if that is intended?
