[Self-Resolved] How to get Steam Controller to switch to Flight Mode?


Recommended Posts

So I just picked up a steam link and a controller in the Steam hardware sale. Naturally one of the first things I have tried on it is KSP.

I loaded the official config, which seemed pretty much what I wanted the controls to be mapped to anyway, but the only problem is, the controls never switch away from "Menu Controls". So when I load a flight, the joystick just moves the camera around and "Y" increases timewarp, instead of activating SAS.

When the flight loads, I get a message in the top right hand corner that says [SteamController]: Flight mode - but the controls aren't switching. I also can't figure out how to manually switch the controls to flight mode.

Now, yes I could remap the Menu controls to flight controls, but it would be easier if it actually supported the different configurations, as that will just make navigating menus difficult.

So am I missing a trick here? Is there something else I need to do? Is there a way to force the controller to switch modes (I wouldn't even mind that tbh)

Here's a log if it helps: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ivrtklna104p7ty/output_log.txt?dl=0

Edit: Never mind. I am a blithering idiot. My PS4 controller is ALSO configured as a Steam Controller, and I left it plugged in after playing F1 2016. Steam naturally defaulted to the wired connection, and the Steam Controller was being treated as secondary input.
