Great video Obi. I too was having issues. But I deleted all the extra settings for the throttle and extra buttons on the main stick. Just left X/Y axis. That seemed to do the trick! Now I just have to figure out how to create new mapping settings for everything else 😵
Thanks mate, I really wanted to watch a crash course on how to get this thing working before doing anything Meeting up with my dad, and the guy got 3 different HOTAS controllers since he's interested in flying, almost got an airplane license. Wanted to show him what's VR all about, and was thinking how feasible it is to invest in VTOL to get these sticks working, but it seems like typical modding circle-jerk which I'm familiar with Thanks, chief 👌
Thank you, thank you, thank you! :) This is a fun alternative to DCS World.. which ofc is awesome but this title is wicked fun, even not as realistic. The self-cam is awesome for streaming ! Thanks again!
I can confirm the mod still works. I tried it last night with a virpil warbrd and my-50cm3 throttle. Works great. In the dependencies: instead of moving the two files sharpdx.dll files to vtol vr data, move them to “managed” in the vtol vr data folder. Also, rename the “mods” folder to “Mods” (just a capital M). Have fun.
Since the Update yesterday (22.12.23), where the EF-24G Mischief came out, the Flightstick doesnt work for this plane. The other aircraft seem to work properly. Any advice how to set it up?
i followed all the instructions in the video and from the tutorial and it's still not working for me, the mod is loading but when ever i try and use my flight stick (logitech Extreme 3D Pro) it just doesn't work at all
Thanks for the video...but I can't understand why my mods loader is not as yours. There aren't 'OPEN FOLDER' and 'Play', despite I've downloaded the loader exactly where you show in the video. Anyway, I followed the instructions on pdf file in the mod editing physicalinput.xml, but when I play only things which work are those (3) present in the Vtol Binding section...Thank you
I cant think of anything but perhaps the built in antivirus is the culprit? You can try turning it off temporarily and try again. I cant think of anything else hopefully someone else will chime in 🤞
@@SONICBOOM-117 last time i put a mod on in this game i loaded it up and went to play multiplayer and the game told me to take off the mod. I'll try this tomorrow and let you know my results for others. I was using the Spotify mod so i could go through tracks and pause n play etc. Sooooooo Good omg
Chuff Flares don't work on Apache, it works as Hover mode. How to fix that? Seems like Apache has kind of 2 throttles but how active 2nd one (the Combat grip) in XML?
do you know how to get this to work on a Logitech X56? it just doesnt work no matter what i try, been rewatching this video like 4 times now and i definatly did everything right...
Thing is, after an update of the game only some people are able to get it to work. It works with my T Flight hotas 4. I honestly wish these devs would just make it support a physical flight stick.
Just does not want to work whatever I do, Joystick is working fine and windows says it's the "VKBsim Gladiator EVO R" Mod shows in game powershell done XML adjusted to the right settings nothing... I have the feeling it has some weird spaces in the game controllers menu but I can't copy paste it from there. I've tried many combinations but it just doesnt want to work with it
Unfortunately because the sim was programmed with those actions as "virtual hand toggling" it's not possible. At least not at the moment. I know that the guy who did this mod is working on more ways around this.
I've gotten everything to work with the mod on my HOTAS (the Thrustmaster F/A-18C Hornet) aside from yaw... I don't have pedals, so if anyone managed to make the yaw controls remain on the virtual stick or if you guys managed to make the input a digital input for left and right on your HOTAS, please let me know how you coded it! Edit: I've finally gotten yaw to work as a digital output instead of an analog one (left or right). However the brakes, engine tilt, and countermeasures all only work on the virtual throttle... cant get that part to work... the code I used is below if anyone wants to look at it. Joystick - HOTAS Warthog
yea you need to modifie the files youself the official modder left the project i already offert to take over but didnt hear back yet - 6 Stick ThrottleTouchpad X 1 0 - 5 Stick ThrottleTouchpad X -1 0 Ps this is for the Hotas X but after some edits it shut work with youre did this a while back with the official modderr to make them work i think its now even in by default

@@crexonus you need to know how to read XML and then all the buttons on the joysick now the T Flight has 12 now not all binds can be assigned but the most importent once cant the only reason i dont use it anymore is Multiplayer and you cant just turn the mods off and reinstalling them everytime is anoying
I have the TWCS throttle and the Logitech extreme 3d. The problem I'm having, is that in notepad, YAW is somewhere in the throttle section. The pitch/roll work fine, but yaw is not working. I can configure the other buttons just fine, but when I try to move the entire yaw command to the top section (for the actual stick), everything stops working... please HALP!
NEVER MIND! I FOUND THE PROBLEM! in the coding for YAW in notepad, they made a " mistake", don't know if it was intentional or not. the coding starts with " it also ends with the same format. That needs to change to: " just the single "arrow brackets" should be there. Copy the entire coding for Yaw from the second stick portion, to the first, make sure you copy every single space/etc. Should work now :)
Thanks for the great tutorial! Even though I followed your steps my joystick just wont work with it. The joystick itself works 100%. It is a older model that is called "Sidewinder Joystick" by Microsoft. In game there is no response at all. Does anyone know what to do?
I wish I could help you. Did you double check the buttons? Make sure sure you didnt have the same button mapped twice for example button 1 for guns and button 1 for missiles. Make sure you do everything exactly how I explained. I'm sure you did but some people miss out on one little thing.
@@SONICBOOM-117 thanks for trying. i didnt Change anything in the mapping besides the name of the joystick. Maybe the joystick ist Not supported? It's kind of old
hey, I have the T16000M, it has a slider on the flight stick that can be use as a throttle but it also has its own throttle, i do not plan on using a throttle for vtol vr, so do i put in tha flight stick or the twcs throttle when it asks for the throttle in the code, i tried it out and it didnt work
Great tutorial. I got this working with both my X52 H.O.T.A.S. and Logitech rudder pedals. I was wondering if more than just the existing options can be mapped to external hardware, such as the MFDs, Landing gear and flaps. It is otherwise very cumbersome to have to use the virtual controls at the same time while sitting at a desk. (I keep smacking the underside of the table)
I don't think that's possible right now. It does get annoying having to have the motion controllers to flip switches etc. But it's all we have at the moment sadly.
awesome tutorial and thank you for taking your time to make this, do you know of any way to have the throttle still be virtual? i basically want only the in game stick controls to be on my physical joystick
weird thing happens that the throttle wont work unless i hold it with my vr controller trigger and doesnt work at all with my sticks intergraded throttle
@@silentfox8 what aircraft are you using? I can't replicate because I don't have a PC right now but from what I can recall, I was able to use the virtual controllers like normal while using the physical flight stick and throttle.
hey bro, i use the same HOTAS as you. The same model and i tried replicating the settings exactly and it wont work. Could you help me out with it mate, Been trying for a while now and its not working at all :(
Hey, sorry been busy, assuming you followed the video, did you enable mods in the game itself? The mod still isnt perfect. I tried recently and it worked but then went back on and it didnt. Today I went back on and it works. Bot sure what happened there.
I just got a quick question, I don’t have a throttle, but I do have a little on on the joystick but I don’t plan on using it, how do I make it so I can use the joystick while also using a normal controller for the throttle?
I'm not exactly sure if that will work but on the 2nd stickname place the exact name listed on "joy.cpl" so if it says "xbox one controller" (for example) then put exactly that on the 2nd stick name. You can try it. If it dont work, then put it back to the name it was before you changed it. Hope it works.
The mod doesn't need rudder pedals because the game itself supports physical rudder pedals. Go to in game settings and set to physical pedals (something like that)
Hello, great tutorial. I have to same stick as you but am not able to get steering/ yaw to work. I went through your settings and they are the same as mine. If you have any tips that would be great.
Hey! if you're still trying to get it to work try changing your yaw code to this (Note: this changes the analog output to a digital one but it does work.... just change the input buttons 8 & 10 to whatever you want left and right to be respectively):
hey awesome mod, tho i can't get it to work, in the bindings settings i see that the game recognises my joystick and i can set bindings for the rudder control axis, but the only other bindings i can change are wheel brake R and wheel brake L, the controls in game don't work sadly, would you have a fix for this? (using logitech saitek X52 pro btw)
You’re using twist rudder or pedals? Also you say the game recognizes your joystick? Just the rudder I assume? (Twist) but none of the control surfaces are responding?
sorry may have explained it kinda badly. So in the bindings menu i see that the game detects that i'm using a joystick and i can change the bindings but only for "Wheel brake R", "wheel brake L" and "rudder". and even though the game let's me change these bindings, they still don't work in game. None of the controls work in game. i've tried starting the game from steamvr, inside the oculus quest 2, and via modloader but these all don't seem to change anything, even when i load the mod in game every time@@SONICBOOM-117
I see for everyone that this tutorial has worked but I have followed the instructions to a T and but I am forced to hold my hand on the digital throttle or else my engine cuts. Do you have any idea what this could be caused by? Or how it could be fixed?
I had the same problem and the code bellow fixed it for me. I don't have a throttle so I changed the "TWCS Throttle" to "Stick" for the stick name and that worked for me. Just organized all your controls the way I have and it should work for you. NOTE: I've gotten Yaw to work but only as a digital output (left or right) HOWEVER... the countermeasures, brakes, and engine tilt don't work on the HOTAS and you have to use the virtual throttle for that to work. I cant get that to work no matter what I try :/ Joystick - HOTAS Warthog
way easyer then watching a video Type powershell and then press CTRL + SHIFT + ENTER. 2. At PowerShell copy/paste the command below and press Enter: Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope CurrentUser -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted.
I am able to get everything working except the Tilt. I can fly around, but it's difficult with no tilt. Strange thing is I can use either the HOTAS or the Rift controller and everything works using either except the tilt, which doesn't work with either. I have tried several different things including trying to bind it to an axis and a rotation. I have a Logitech X52 Professional H.O.T.A.S. Thanks for any help anyone can provide. my settings in the xml file are as follows. I have checked about 15 times and no other items are using buttons 3 or 4. 3 Throttle ThrottleTouchpad Y 1 0
I use the pov thump switch. I never had to mess with that in the bindings. It worked normally. I use it to move the cursor over a target and press a button on my throttle to lock.
Hey there,, unfortunately its only working for some people due to updates. Make sure you follow the video perfectly. Anything you may possibly have skipped could be why it's not working. If you followed 100% then it may be that it just doesnt work with your device. Sadly they havent worked on this mod to make it more easier to do.
@@llamallama1416 if things are working but yaw isnt, then its comes down to "stickname" lines. The first stickname change to your flight stick name (as instructed in video) The second stickname try leaving it normal (dont change anything) If you've tried normal, and changing 2nd stickname to your flight stick name but still doesnt work, at this point I'm lost too. But I have encountered this yaw issue myself while doing this mod. For me it had to do with stickname. So play around with either changing it or leaving it back to normal.
Can't get the VTOLVR_HOTAS_Physical_Input folder to create. Anyone came across this and fixed it? BTW I didn't get the "Windows protected your PC" prompt. Is that a clue?

So in the bindings menu i see that the game detects that i'm using a joystick and i can change the bindings but only for "Wheel brake R", "wheel brake L" and "rudder". and even though the game let's me change these bindings, they still don't work in game. None of the controls work in game. i've tried starting the game from steamvr, inside the oculus quest 2, and via modloader but these all don't seem to change anything, even when i load the mod in game every time@@SONICBOOM-117
is there a binding setup for the t16000m?
I see for everyone that this tutorial has worked but I have followed the instructions to a T and but I am forced to hold my hand on the digital throttle or else my engine cuts. Do you have any idea what this could be caused by? Or how it could be fixed?
I had the same problem and the code bellow fixed it for me. I don't have a throttle so I changed the "TWCS Throttle" to "Stick" for the stick name and that worked for me.
Just organized all your controls the way I have and it should work for you.
NOTE: I've gotten Yaw to work but only as a digital output (left or right) HOWEVER... the countermeasures, brakes, and engine tilt don't work on the HOTAS and you have to use the virtual throttle for that to work. I cant get that to work no matter what I try :/

If you get the RED letters when you run powershell use this tutorial. th-cam.com/video/F-fWwkG5Xrk/w-d-xo.html
thank you pimp
way easyer then watching a video
Type powershell and then press CTRL + SHIFT + ENTER. 2. At PowerShell copy/paste the command below and press Enter:
Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope CurrentUser -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted.
does this work with other flight sticks besides a hotas?
It should as long as you change the script name to your flight stick name when you type in "joy.cpl"
@@SONICBOOM-117 thank you
when i open with power shell it comes up with a blue screen but no code/writing then it goes away or it doesnt do anything. can i get some help pls
This happens for me as well. If u figured it out could u lmk how to fix it
I am able to get everything working except the Tilt. I can fly around, but it's difficult with no tilt. Strange thing is I can use either the HOTAS or the Rift controller and everything works using either except the tilt, which doesn't work with either. I have tried several different things including trying to bind it to an axis and a rotation. I have a Logitech X52 Professional H.O.T.A.S. Thanks for any help anyone can provide. my settings in the xml file are as follows. I have checked about 15 times and no other items are using buttons 3 or 4.

Never mind, I was able to get it to work.
@@bohefton2728 could you send me a link for your xml file i got the same system but dont get it work.
It would be great.
I don’t have the file on the internet. Where could I upload it to so you could get it?
@@bohefton2728 click on my channel in the channel info there is my e-mail address
any chance i could add you on discord or something to get that x56 xml file?
@@bohefton2728
any idea how to fix so u can lock enemy on radar? with the HOTAS?
I use the pov thump switch. I never had to mess with that in the bindings. It worked normally. I use it to move the cursor over a target and press a button on my throttle to lock.
The game is great, but it'd be amazing if they would add HOTAS support
I wholeheartedly agree
Sadly they won’t because the developer made vtol knowing people likely don’t have a Hotas so he made the game with no hotas support
it doesnt work for me does anybody have a logitech 3d pro usb setup?
i do too and the mods button in vtol vr isnt showing up for me
Remove the Joystick - part in the code so it is Logitech Extreme 3D
So i cant download the VTOL VR mods can anyone help me??
Seems to not work with Hotas Winwing Orion, thanks for the video !
I really wish I can help you. Did you follow every step to the T?
@@SONICBOOM-117 yes I follow everything I am sure your video is perfect, it's juste maybe not compatible with my hotas.
Thanks!
I have the Saitek X-56 and also can't get it to work
@@craigtindal3717 I havent played since I did this tutorial. I'm going to get on tomorrow to see if it still works for me. I'll be in touch.
@@SONICBOOM-117 does it work?
hey i have the Logitech extreme 3d and it is just not working at all do you have a fix
Hey there,, unfortunately its only working for some people due to updates. Make sure you follow the video perfectly. Anything you may possibly have skipped could be why it's not working. If you followed 100% then it may be that it just doesnt work with your device. Sadly they havent worked on this mod to make it more easier to do.
@@SONICBOOM-117 hey my Logitech extreme 3d started working but one problem my yaw isn't working
@@llamallama1416 if things are working but yaw isnt, then its comes down to "stickname" lines.
The first stickname change to your flight stick name (as instructed in video)
The second stickname try leaving it normal (dont change anything)
If you've tried normal, and changing 2nd stickname to your flight stick name but still doesnt work, at this point I'm lost too. But I have encountered this yaw issue myself while doing this mod. For me it had to do with stickname. So play around with either changing it or leaving it back to normal.
@@SONICBOOM-117 ok let me try that
Do you still need to use virtual controllers to interact with MFDs etc?
Yes.
Thanks! How has your experience been switching back and forth from HOTAS to the virtual controllers?
@@NikeMRX i just kept them handy next to me. I set them on my sides. Didnt hinder anything. It's a way better experience.
my vtol is just a black screen what can i do?
Go to library and verify files to repair the game and start over. That's the only thing I can think of. Redo the steps carefully.
do you only have to have a hostas controller jouyaick
Well, it works with many other flight sticks.
@@SONICBOOM-117 thanks
Is there a way to make TEDAC Controls work?
I cant open the unblocker file with powershell
I can’t either. Did u figure it out?
Thank you for making the video.
You're welcome 🙂
Does this work in multiplayer?
I dont "think" it does. I believe I read somewhere it doesnt but not 100% sure.
what do i do if the game controllers show both my throttle and joystick name?
Update: he explains it i wasnt paying attention 🤣
Does this still aork
Can't get the VTOLVR_HOTAS_Physical_Input folder to create. Anyone came across this and fixed it? BTW I didn't get the "Windows protected your PC" prompt. Is that a clue?
you don't have to, just rename ur mod's folder
voice volume very low
For the people at the powershell part
