Joystick Detection Tool
Before using this guide please read our informative HOTAS post on our website and download our useful Joystick Detection Tool. You can find this here[bitplanetgames.com].

When you open up the tool it should automatically detect the HOTAS you are currently using. This tool also shows you which buttons are currently being used AS you use them in the tool. This is really handy when you want to edit the config schemas as you will soon learn.
Schema List
Below is the list of schemas and what they do.

These can be found in the \Assets\StreamingAssets\Data\Config\Controller\Schema directory. This is located in your game's install directory.

Note: You can easily tell which schemas are being loaded by opening up the game's output.log file in any text editor located at <windows username>/appdata/locallow/bit planet games llc/Ultrawings and searching for 'Controller Detected'.

  • accept_schema.cfg - Used for interacting with the laptop, tablet and various config options in the office.
  • accept_trigger_schema.cfg - No need to change this.
  • action_schema.cfg - This is the action button for firing your dart gun, using the tablet camera, etc.
  • aileron_schema.cfg - Controls aircraft aileron
  • back_schema.cfg - Used to go back a screen on the laptop in the office (UI related)
  • brake_schema.cfg - Controls aircraft's brakes
  • drop_schema.cfg - Drops tablet / dart gun object currently holding

  • look_horizontal_schema.cfg - No need to change this.
  • look_vertical_schema.cfg - No need to change this.
  • next_schema.cfg - This selects the Next button on the laptop (when present)

just reassign to a different, undetected button.

How do you disable a button in the schema. I have a T1600 and there is a brake on the joystick and then two brake buttons on the throttle. How do I disable the brake button on the throttle. I've tried setting things to "false" with no luck.

I can't find the rudder twist schema, I use thrustmaster warthog throttle and joystick along with crosswinds pedals.

My Saitek Pro Flight rudder pedals, TCWS throttle, and T.16000m stick are all detected in the Joystick Map Editor, but not by the game. The output log shows only the Oculus Touch detected.

You were right! The problem was on my side, I'm not sure what was wrong, but I reinstalled the drivers a few times and eventually found a USB port that was recognized. This game is fantastic with a joystick! Awesome work , thanks!

Please send us your output.log file to support@bitplanetgames.com. Instructions for how to do this are in the forums.

I've personally tested the game with this HOTAS and verfied it worked.

Thrustmaster TFlight Hotas X, started up multiple times and never found controller detected text in my log, despite the joystick registering in every other game I tried. And I sat there trying every button but never got past the start screen

What HOTAS are you trying to use?

Guys this just doesn't work? The joystick reader can see my Hotas but the game itself never detects the joystick at all?
