Great post! I really appreciate how you break things down and give folks realistic solutions. My entire career as a commander has been on Linux (with a HOTAS and a bunch of EDMC plugins).
Same 🙃
Does running E:D on Linux work ok with joysticks, throttles, and pedals?
(I have a warthog stick, thrustmaster pedals, and CH Pro throttle)
I’ve played for years using various Thrustmaster and VKB sticks, throttles, and rudder pedals on Slackware, Funtoo, Void, and Tumbleweed. VR works ok too, though less performant post-Odyssey.
Awesome, thank you very much!
You’re welcome! I should also mention that AntiMicroX has been a lifesaver ever since I got a throttle and a stick that have more than 32 buttons. Because that’s the limit that E:D can see on one device, I just use AMX to map the remaining buttons to keyboard keys.
Thanks. I have a Thrustmaster set in box still I was gonna hook up and test but now I don’t have to -.-
I’ve been playing on DualShock 4/ DualSense 5 myself the entire time on PC.
Odyssey/new engine gine brought the ability to double bind control keys. So now I can use my DPad in space for precision thrusters on top of normal functions so that solved my only pre-existing gripe about FA off w/controller.
Ah, I wasn’t aware of the double-binding for gamepads, that’s good to know. As a ~95% FA-off pilot (the feel of that flight model is like half the reason I play), I can sympathize.
I only wish they had found a way to make Odysee in VR. I understand why it isn’t (I’d image wicked motion sickness or horribly awkward motion controls), but after spending so many hours mystified by the Galaxy I’m full immersion, I have no desire to play this on a flat screen.
But why bother? After abandoning the console players, this game should be dead to everyone.
So because Frontier was unable to afford to continue to support it on consoles, you think EVERYONE should lose access? I sympathise that it really sucks for console players but it’s better than nothing at all for everyone.
Why should it be dead?
When you price out the components of a console and realize what a crappy PC it is, it’s a freeing experience.
I love Playing Elite in bed, on my pictured Steam DeckSee also: I’m spoiled living near a Microcenter
Hey, I know that this is an old post, but just started playing on Deck.
Do you have issues with stutters and speed ups? I sometimes have the game sped up like 150%, and sometimes stutters when it freezes for half a second a then unfreezes but already moved ahead
Getting a Steam Deck made me play Elite Dangerous almost daily
