I am using Shadow, downloaded the thrustmaster hotas x joystick driver, usb plugged in. The Shadow PC does not recognise it as a game controller. Yet shadow launcher does see it as forwarded usb, but Box can’t be checked. The result is that DCS World does not see the joystick. I followed all troubleshooting suggestions according to Shadow support. Any ideas to help please?!

If you would like, you can try our Beta app to see if that helps. The Beta app has our new in-house USB drivers that we’ve developed. We’re working on improving our USB support at the moment.

 

You can find the Beta app by joining our Discord: https://discord.gg/shadow

I have the Warthog stick too and am experiencing the exact same issues, uninstalling, clearing lists etc doe not work - appears in hosted app but cant be checked off

I am connecting through a Mac OS client though, will try a PC over the weekend to see if similar probs

Let me know if you find a solution!

update - using the Shadow Beta client (and server), on Mac OS now allows the passthru and ability to check off the Warthog stick and throttle for use in MS Flightsim and others, yay!
