My Hotas 4 will randomly stop working during flights. Aircraft will stop responding to input from any of the controls. If I pause the game and go to the Options menu and use the search by control button almost always it will display the corresponding button or control. If I then return to my flight everything works again.
Today I download the 2020 Thrustmaster drivers, removed the device, then reinstalled it, but the problem persists.
Update:
My problem has compounded. Today in mid-flight once again the controller stopped working. I paused, opened the Options Manu and tested the controls. Everything worked in the options. When I returned to my flight the throttle didn’t work at all.
I think there might not be a problem with the HOTAS. I discovered when I mouse click to change the program focus to either the VFR GPS or the Comms window the main screen doesn’t get the focus back until I click somewhere in it. Tried that and the HOTAS works again. At least so far.
Yes you are probably right PedalDruid5399. There have been several threads about this issue - here is an example:
I reported this as a bug today, and hopefully others have also reported it - I think it is responsible for quite a lot of the strange “loss of control” things which continue to happen despite recent updates.
It seems that my X-55 is not properly recognized. Still not after the 1.15.8 update. The problems started 3 updates ago.
In sensitivity the joystick and throttle movements are shown.
But the icon on the throttle and stick is a big “?” but with correct name.
This started happening to me after the performance update and the hotfix doesn’t address it. I reset my profiles and disabled all assists, I even did an exchange for a new hotas 4 and reinstalled the drivers and it still occurs. I thought it has something to do with the wiring being pinched onto my table since it seems to go back to being responsive when I take it off but I don’t understand why its happening all of a sudden after the update.
Any update on this? I’m having the same issue. A rather game-breaking bug I’d say…
It happens when you have a VFR map or NAV log window open in VR. If you put the mouse pointer inside the window, my throttle and pedals stop working. The joystick continues to work.
