joystick doing very weird stuff

[javamaster10000]

Hey there!

I tried using my joystick in KSP multiple times, but it keeps being useless. the axis get detectet corectly, and all the buttons work correctly, but the axis don't have their center points alinged correctly, and also they just seem to do something completely different, then I am trying to do with the joystick.

If I had to guess, i would say that they probably se a different resolution or sth like that.

Thanks for helping me!

The information reported isn't enough to really help and I can't find any previously reported issue about joystick axes not centered in KSP. There was some about axes bindings, but your issue seems different.

KSP itself has no settings about centering axes; what couldn't be otherwise, as not even Unity allows any setting regarding axes centering.

Given the above, the issue would normally be found in your system. Apart from the very axes position signal the joystick sends, the information is processed by the device driver, DirectX Input, and (if exists) any joystick software able to "correct" the center position. Unity and therefore KSP would only see the axes values after all the processing by those software layers.

I would bet you already checked the center axes issue only occurs with KSP, and isn't present also with system software (e.g. the joystick control panel).

Actually, because of the mismatch you report about the actions performed, I have a suspect another input device is registered with your system, and for some reason it "fights" with the joystick. Each device has its own identifier with the system, but Unity just lists them by a single number, e.g. INPUT_DEVICES { <name> = 0, 1, ... }. If for any reason you registered the KSP settings with one configuration, and then the configuration changes (you attached or detached an input device), KSP may get confused and use the wrong device number. This is one issue going to be fixed soon.

So, in case, please try keeping the same input devices while registering settings and playing KSP.

In case the above has no effect, we need more info about your problem:

- make and model of the joystick, version of its drivers installed;

- version of the Operating System;

- DXDiag.txt save (should you need help with that, start "DXDiag.exe" from the system command, save info with the button at the bottom of the DXdiag window);

- KSP/settings.cfg (that file is renewed at each KSP start, upload a copy of when the issue is occurring).
