Pan control

Hello guys,

For some reason the pan control mapped to the ministick on top of my "farmstick" is not working, even with its axes mapped correctly.

Do I need to do something else? I've tried two different joysticks, and even with axes mapped, it doesn't work. But works if I map a button or key instead.

Thank you

Hello,

Does anyone have any tips?

Should it work with axes as well, no?

Thank you!

Hello iPacs Team,

Some workaround or suggestion so that I can use the analog ministick to control pan view?

Thank you

Hello Jan,

Thank you for your reply.

Yes, I have tested two different joystick models (TM Farmstick and a Turtle Beach Flight Deck) and both don't work. It is odd because I'm able to map their ministick axes, but they don't work in-game.

Ty and have a nice day

Hello Jan,

If not asking too much, could you please show me the action you are mapping for these pan controls?
I'm mapping on General/Views/Pan. So I click on the horizontal bar and I move the axis. It is being registered, I can see the movement on green bar, but nothing on cockpit.

Thank you

But ministick works for me with "Look" settings. So, for ministick - "Look", for "Pan" - I Pov works.

Exactly as here. But I really would like to use the pan control, since the "look" returns to the initial pov.

Hello guys,

It still has not worked.
Jan, could you please show us a screenshot presenting where it must be mapped?

Ty very much

Thank you, Mastodon.

But it would affect all axes I believe.

Edit: It works in gamepad mode. I just hope the other controls will not change anything. Thank you once again.

Edit 2: Unfortunately, despite the pan works now with the ministick, in gamepad mode I have some issues with the throtle. Looks like it just need some modification on joystick mode from the sim developper.

We've tested it with game-controllers and the view pan works fine there.

Just to confirm, are you using a joystick and not a game-controller for this?

Hello Jan,

Could you please take a look on it? It would be amazing to use the ministicks for Pan control, but it only works in gamepad mode.
The post is marked as "Thread is Resolved" but we can see other users still has the same issue. Could you please share a screenshot showing the option you do use to have it working.

Thank you very much

ok , connected PS5 controller to PC . without setting anything [ maybe did the mapping in the past ] , by default left thumbstick works for PAN views . so went ahead and mapped the same PAN views to the thumbstick on my X56 joystick .

guess what , both thumbsticks are recognized in controls settings , but in-game it works for controller but doesnt work for joystick . mapped in game like this [ Rx/y is the joystick , Thumb X/Y is the controller ] :

Same on my side. But I did test with an Xbox gamepad. It works on the gamepad, but not on the joystick even that both were mapped.
Only in gamepad mode it works. If I put the joystick as gamepad controller, it works, but then my quadrant doesn't work properly. I can only fly if both sidestick and quadrant are set as joysticks.

It's a shame, that's the only thing that bothers me about AeroflyFS, not being able to take advantage of the joystick thumbstick.

Hello iPacs,
Do you have some good news on this thread?
Thank you

Thank you for your reply.

I am referring to joysticks that have integrated thumbsticks/ministicks. Normally, these axes in other games are used for some kind of a pan control. I've tested different joysticks with the same feature and none of them works even correctly mapped.

I can map the axes for pan control, and they seem to work in the Aerofly control settings panel (the bars move left/right), but during gameplay, nothing happens.
They work if I change the joystick control mode to gamepad, but that's bad because it doesn't work properly for other things as it is in fact a joystick.

Thank you
