Me too. Seems that a fresh install does the trick, from what I've read. That's alot of downloading! Anyone find any other solutions?

edit: if you delete ALL files that end in .version from your starcitizen folder, it will run normally..

Thanks for sharing this Phil, I haven't been able to invest in this yet so it's good to see how it's developing.

If anyone is running a Warthog, check this fix out (under the Controls heading). Worked like a charm!

Just had a major panic downloading the patch. Left PC on last night with a task to switch it off at 4am, 2hrs after download supposed to finish. Switched on this morning, I can't connect to the internet, and the download is "stalled". Restart PC, still can't connect. Had to reset my blooming IP address for some bizarre reason. And the download STILL isn't finished. Man I have crap internetz.

I managed to get it all sorted, and launched to the point I could get into the cockpit. I have a 325, but the dialogue for the mission (I didn't launch it) talked about a hornet? Do we not even get to fly our own ships yet?

I've got a 315p and I got to fly a 300i. I think they give you a loan of the one closest to your ship. In the budget hanger I only had two ships, my 315p and the 300i.


Lovely looking visuals and models but I was hoping for more of a feeling I was piloting a space craft. But still very early days!

I also had some interesting glitches after this extended downloading session, wiped out my chrome settings no right click on mouse plus a few other silly things,restarted and all seemed to be back in place also rebooted router.very odd

I just managed to bind my rudder pedals to yaw!

Inserted

<action name="v_yaw">
<rebind device="joystick" input="js3_rotx" />
</action>

in the "spaceship_movement" section of the .xml file

I have a set of old analogue pedals running through a Bodnar board!

Was trying for hours to get the right identifier without luck. Thanks to Captain_Sternn over at the RSI site for giving me the key - though he was setting roll to pedals - why the hell would you want that??????????

I've got a warthog but with satek pedals, will this work do you think?

It should do, You can get the id of the controller by going to the "game controllers" in control panel. If the pedals are the third in the list that js3. In control panel my rudder input is "X Rotation". The others are labeled "X Axis", "Y Axis" and "Z Axis"

Would be worth trying!

ok.. there is nothing called "game controllers" under my control panel.
The devices section does not appear to list the control surface ID codes...

Sorry,
Control Panel -> vew Devices and Printers then right click on one of your game controllers and select game controller settings.

OR

click on the windows icon and in the search bar type game control, then choose setup a USB game controller from the list.

I'm playing around trying to get it to work on one of my other axis at the moment. Will report back if I have any success!

Cheers!

Phil,

If axis is named "Axis X" use "input=js3_x"
or if axis is named "Axis Y" use "input=js3_y"
or if axis is named "Axis Z" use "input=js3_z"

I'm not sure if it is possible to invert the axis if it's going the wrong way. Luckily mines looks Ok.

Cheers!

ok, did you also delete the existing yaw settings out, (left Left/ Right ones)? Or did you just add the JS3 as a new one in addition to the others?

Skoshi_Tiger
Jun-05-2014, 08:11
I left mine in but I expect they could delete them if you wanted.

92 Sqn. Philstyle (QJ-P)
Jun-05-2014, 08:27
Damn, for the life of me I cannot work this out.

I've tried all sorts of combinations of

input=js3_z
input=js3_axisz
input=js3_rotationz
input=js3_rotz

Nowhere in windows can I find what the PC is calling that axis on my pedals...here's what I can see;

9968

____>> IGNORE the above - i've got it working now;



<action name="v_yaw">
<rebind device="joystick" input="js3_rotz" />

works!

Having a few issues mapping all the buttons I want on the X52. Can't find what numbers the hat switches are.

Also can't have my Saitek pedals plugged in with the joystick, otherwise it goes bat shit crazy.

I can't get my x52 pro to register any buttons, the only thing that works are the axis...? Is there a config file that points to joystick ID's like in CloD or do you have to load a custom XML for every joystick?

Well on my X52 I've mapped buttons quite successfully. I actually can't map the sliders or dials, or the hat switches as I don't know how to reference them. My main issue is that with my pedals plugged in it's a complete night mare.

The other issue is that the RSI forums are a useless place to go for help. Too many people, with not enough brain cells between them. Too much disinformation, and signal to noise ratio is way out of whack.

@hnbdgr. Download the x55 xml file, and change all references to js2 to js1 (the x52 is only one joystick despite being HOTAS). Then open up the game controller window through your profile menu (by the clock on taskbar). Use this to identify which button numbers you want to map, and then change the button numbers in the xml to what they are. Save. Then load using the "pp rebindkeys " etc that Phill posted earlier.

Managed to get most things bound and finally gave it a proper try out today... well it's good but it could be better! Aiming with the joystick is extremely difficult, it's much easier to aim with the mouse!!! Apart from that, lots of teething problems, gamma jumps all over the place for me, objects flicker, etc. etc. Immersive it certainly isn't as of yet...

Just noticed in my twitter feed RSI have updated Arena Commander. Bug fixes galore, but no info on opening it up. I think they are still rolling out to alpha backers.
