I have a Thrustmaster Hotas 4 that has a rocker axis which I used for left and right brakes in 2020. I can’t get it to bind in 2024 because it seems to need two dif axis. Does anyone know a way around this?
I’m really frustrated because this peripheral was recognized and set up automatically in 2020 but 2024 has no idea what to do with it.
This is the rocker that pulls to the left or right.
Yes, because normally you would press both brakes.
Can you see what the binding is called in 2020?
I have a similar HOTAS One that uses that rocker for trim, though I find it so unsatisfactory that I bind trim elsewhere. That HOTAS (whether deliberately or accidentally) appears to minic differential braking when braking while also turning the stick (axis 4, I think).
Here’s a snapshot of what I’m seeing. I don’t recall what it was called in 2020 but it worked perfectly. I used it frequently when aircraft wouldn’t turn sharp enough, and it’s used in tail dragger warplanes to slide left and right to look ahead.
I’ll load up 2020 and take a look.
You might be able to bind the same axis to both the controls and do some magic with axis inversion, deadzone, etc
If I do that it says it’s in conflict.
I use just one pedal for both and just need to bind both LEFT BRAKE AXIS and RIGHT BRAKE AXIS to the same axis, even if it says it’s in conflict… No issues here
Yes it will say conflict but will use the same axis for both.
Ahh, here’s what it looks like in 2020. I’ll try to just find left and right brake instead of axis and see if that works.
If it doesn’t work, I’ll try this. I swear I tried this right after launch and it didn’t work… but maybe I’m mis-remembering.
Ok, so this was the key!
What a convoluted dumb system… 2020 worked fine without this nonsense. Either way, it’s not working. Thanks everyone for input!
No, it’s actually quite brilliant once you see the way it should work.
Wait, so even after manually assigning the rocker paddle, it didn’t work?
I have the same HOTAS X and I can’t find any FS24 setting the works for that paddle. FS2020 had no trouble. I wonder if this is a “bug”?
I don’t know, but you can try doing what I did. Manually setting the left and right side to x - or +.
Someone above mentioned trim. If I didn’t spend so much time flying WWII tail draggers I’d probably try that.
If it helps, the rocker on this throttle has an axis with a center.
It works well for rudder, zoom & other things that go back and forth, but return to neutral(center).
L & R Toe Brakes need an axis that is 0 to 100 (or 100 to 0 , if reversed)
If i remember correctly, the rocker can be set as 2 buttons also? See the programming manual.
You could set Left rocker to keystroke brakes when held down(this would apply both left & right, just like using the default keyboard button
and
what ever you wanted for the Right side, like reset view forward.
In 2024, with THrustmaster rudder pedals, I was able to scan, push the toe brake and it inserted RAXIS X for right toe brake, and RAXIS Y for the left toe brake, with no conflicts. But it still didn’t work to activate the toe brakes. The planes I tried (C172 and Pipistrel) didn’t recognize those inputs.
Did anyone find a way?
To bind one axis to the brakes i mean? I dont want/need individual left/right brakes, i just want to control them both analog with 1 axis, instead of the digital hold-and-guess-how-hard-we’ll-brake method.
What pedal do you use?
