Ramstein Posted August 25, 2022 Posted August 25, 2022 (edited) I use a USB Xbox controller with the Apache, and it works fine. But, one issue is not loading automatically. I have to load it by doing a re-scan after I am in DCS. The column is not there in controls until I do a rescan for devices. I thought it was loading with windows, but now I just don't it until I add it after starting DCS, and adding it back into contollers. I don't have to alter the controls though, they are already set and saved. All my other controls come up when DCS is started. Thanx. update, I only forgot to load the Xbox app, I had changed it do it didn't start with windows. I should have remembered I made a post and didn't correct it until now.

Sabre05 Posted August 26, 2022 Posted August 26, 2022 Is it perhaps a wireless Xbox controller? I noticed this when mine would go to sleep. But I don't think I've noticed it when I used it wired.
MAXsenna Posted August 26, 2022 Posted August 26, 2022 Yeah, I keep mine connected with a cable when using it in DCS.
JG11Preusse Posted August 26, 2022 Posted August 26, 2022 Xbox Controller works fine with AH-64D ..... congratulations .... you must be an absolut exceptionally human. But that is good for you ... i know noone since decades who can do such with a gamepad or a xbox controller 1
cordite Posted August 28, 2022 Posted August 28, 2022 I would think he uses it for the CPG, not for piloting. 1

Ramstein Posted November 10, 2022 Author Posted November 10, 2022 guess I didn't state the controller issue, I thought about it and not long after I remembers I didn't have my XBox app starting with windows anymore. To run the controller that must be running. I forgot to I had remember shortly after I had forget about saying it here in my post. 1 ASUS Strix Z790-H, i9-13900, WartHog HOTAS and MFG Crosswind G.Skill 64 GB Ram, 2TB SSD EVGA Nvidia RTX 2080-TI (trying to hang on for a bit longer) 55" Sony OLED TV, Oculus VR
Chic Posted November 10, 2022 Posted November 10, 2022 (edited) Already checked USB status. The linked article for wired device should resolve the prob. Will try it out soon. Thanks loads.

Ramstein Posted December 5, 2022 Author Posted December 5, 2022 (edited) ok, I am going to get a new Xbox controller to replace my Xbox One controller pad. Mine is USB, to replace it which one would be best for il-2 and DCS, which will supplement my Warthog HOTAS ? i.e. : wireless? different buttons ,layout, etc..? I am not real familiar with any others.. Thanx. Update, only issue is the primary triggers cannot be added, but apparently that is the XBox side of the issue, not DCS.

Floyd1212 Posted December 5, 2022 Posted December 5, 2022 You can’t really find an Xbox controller that has different button options. At least, I haven’t found one. The model I have has the 4 extra finger paddles that you snap onto the bottom, but they aren’t really extra buttons, you can just assign them to emulate any of the other existing buttons on the controller. I know several people that have issues with their wireless controller going to “sleep” on them, so I’m a fan of a wired controller.
