Setting up the controls on a flight stick (X52 Pro) - only some buttons recognized


Recommended Posts

I'm just trying to set up a Saitek X52 Pro for KSP (v0.25). Stuff like mapping pitch/yaw to the joystick axis worked fine out of the box.

But some controls are not recognized at all. When mapping the "POV2" hat for example, I could map the upwards button (JoystickButton19), but none of the other directions. The throttle hat won't work at all. Adjusting these buttons in Saitek's own software doesn't help.

I've read somewhere that KSP used to map only a limited number of buttons, but that seemed to be an old issue, and I don't see others complaining about issues with the X52 - so I'm a bit confused.

Any ideas as to what the problem may be? (The buttons themselves aren't broken, I've tested that)

Joystick issues with all Unity-based games seem to be extremely erratic. Some few people seem to inexplicably have absolutely no problems with them, but for the most part there is often a large array of weird issues with joysticks. As far as we have been able to tell, there really is very little (if anything) that can be done about it, although some people have managed to cobble together a bit of a workaround via some programs which can remap joystick input into a virtual joystick (which KSP/Unity seems to read better for whatever reason).
