can't assign congtrols to t16000 hotas rudder

[stinger27]

Good evening, guys. I have been pulling hair out, and I have very little hair. lol! Anyway, I have a thrust master t16000 yoke, throttle and rudder combo. I cannot get the rudder working. I cannot assign any axis’s, buttons etc. The rudder is only connected to the throttle with he rj45 like cable. I see no USB cables to hook to my computer. I have tried resetting the throttle to default, rebooting the computer, and downloading and installing the driver updates that appear to be the latest from thrust master’s site. I contacted thrust master with no luck so far, that was yesterday. Can anyone give me any other ideas before I go bald? The reason I want to connect and use the rudder is to prevent another incident like the one that happened on Monday. I do not really want to go into detail currently. The odd thing is vPilot sees the rudder as I set the right brake as a ptt, I have not tested it yet, but I want to set the brake on my left toe as a, well, brake and my parking brakes to be released when I press as well. Can someone give me anything else to troubleshoot here? I am using prepar3dv4.5. Happy Wednesday everybody.

Note when googling, I did disable auto rudder, and when I checked and tried to assign the axis, I got "slider" and not rz or what ever it was suppose to be.

Hi stinger27,

Could you try changing the controller API from Raw Input to Direct Input? You should see this option in one of the controller setting screens.
