Windows 11 and Thrustmaster Hotas 1 issues
-
@jayb It won’t let me run in compatibility mode. Ughh.
Here’s a new twist. I bought a Thrustmaster T.16000, I has two USB inputs. One for the throttle and one for the joystick.
My computer INSTANTLY recognizes the throttle and all inputs from it. Also inputs from the rudder that’s plugged into the throttle. On either USB input.
When I plug in the joystick nothing. In either USB input. This is getting weirder by the moment…
Uggghhh -
Could you plug your joystick into the throttle then, so use the throttle as a USB hub?
A little bit weird that it will not allow you to change compatibility settings.
Are you logged in as an administrator on your computer ? Maybe your user profile is less empowered. Check under Accounts, “Your info” - under my name it says “Administrator”
-
Unfortunately, the plug in on the throttle is for a old school ohone. Pretty sure it’s a RJ11. But a good idea.
And yes. I made double sure I’m running the TMaster as an administrator.
I just played Star Wars Squadrons on my Xbox for an hour and the joystick works flawlessly.One more item. When I plug the joystick into my computer USB, the joystick does power up. There is a tiny blue light that turns on when it gets power.
so weird…

Do you have any TM software installed? My guess is it’s doing something to get in the way of device enumeration on Win11. (Haven’t heard anyone else complain tho, so
)-
with device unplugged … launch Device Manager (devmgmt.msc)
-
on the menubar => View / Devices by Container
-
plug in your device … wait a few seconds, it should refresh to show something like this
Let me know what you see…

@airtex2019 It looks like I have it installed.
When I plug in the joystick, nothing happens. I’m not sure how to add a screenshot so you can see it.When I add a regular Xbox controller, it shows up. The joystick, not so much.
Under my apps for the computer, it shows Thrustmaster as one of them available.

Hmm… oh wait, is this one of the devices with the little switch – PC vs XBox?I think this is because XBox has some proprietary restrictions on USB device compatibility.
This wouldn’t explain the weirdness with the T.16000M tho.

@handyflyer1 for screenshots you simply paste them in, in between the text you are writing

@handyflyer1 , @jayb
It must be win11 thing NOT Thrustmaster… how long till win10 was fixed for gamepads support, remember … 1 year or more, sometime back in 2019-2020 …
When connected., in device manager, does yellow question mark shows or “unknown device” under usb, maybe you’ve missed… it is strange that just nothing shows… maybe you can reset the stick to default… who knows, have you EVER programmed it ?Cheers
ps. for those with VKB expensive dildos, I won’t even ask …
-
I can’t believe it was that easy of a fix!! It’s working like a champ now.
Thank your help. I feel like an idiot… -
@handyflyer1
No worries mate – I should have remembered this was a thing, and mentioned it sooner. Your hint was right there in the op!I know it works because it works on my Xbox
