I continue to be really puzzled by the way Asobo approach peripherals. This latest call for “peripheral teaters” and particularly the phrasing “supported peripherals” baffles me a little.
Are Asobo not using standard API’s to manage input controllers? Why this rigid adherence to a select group of products?
I don’t see WinWing, Virpil, MFG, Slaw Device or VKB on their lists at all, (and VKB’s Gladiator NXT must be the “go to” mid tier joystick since it was released.)
Zendesk once responded to a bug report that I submitted with “sorry but we do not support your peripheral” (note, I actually reproduced the particular behaviour with a Thrustmaster T16000 in addition to my own Virpil kit so I was a little surprised that the response was so dismissive.) I’m just confused as to how they can even suggest that an input controller is not supported unless they have decided to abandon industry standards in favour of some proprietary system.
