(edit) I solved my problem - worth noting to folks to make sure that (in steam) you right click Ace Combat 7; then go to 'properties'. Ensure 'Steam Input Per-Game Setting' is set to 'forced off'. Then this works like a charm.
VERY IMPORTANT IF RUNNING OFF STEAM: whenever I tried to use this software, the only way I could get it to work was if I launched the game from the .exe file in the game folder. I also needed to go into my steam controller settings and disable any existing profiles, to make sure the two don’t interfere. Once I figured that out, it worked fine for me!
DUDE YOU ARE AWESOME!!!! THANKS!!! Just to add something, if you mapped all of the button but as you start the game your controller is not being detected, or your hearing a sound when you start it, make sure the controller you adjusted is listed as number 1 so you might want to remove the other controllers first before you start the game. :)
Got it to work on thrustmaster boeing TCA. Wasnt working until we unplugged the throttle quadrant. Looks like only the yoke works for now, but yoke alone works like a charm. Thank you!
I close the program then open Ace Combat 7 but Ace Combat doesn't see any of my controller inputs. All looks perfect when testing the buttons in the application though, which is stored in the same location as the .exe
I totally forgot that x360 was an option, even though I needed it for a few games (I was w/o internet for a bit) a while ago. I'm subbing b/c you helped me appreciate my game, and b/c you don't have that annoying inflection of your voice that almost everyone has....ty!
Thank you so much for taking the time to do this. One mistake I did make fro the start was to download the multi 32/64 bit version. This didn’t work for me until I downloaded the 64 bit version (which you did clearly say at the beginning, oops).
I've followed the tutorial step by step for my Thrustmaster Hotas X but after running the detection process my Hotas was not mentioned in the tabs. It only says that there is an Unified Virtual HID. But under the button Game Controllers my Hotas is listed. When trying to record the buttons nothing is recorded. Kudo's for helping me out! Ahhh! Found it. I needed to delete all "devices" under "Unified Virtual HID" in the device manager. My stick is detected now correct!
thank you so much this has made things so much more fun for me. I combined my Logitech 3d Extreme Pro, Saitek Yoke (Throttle Quadrant ONLY), and Saitek Rudder Pedals. Works perfectly apart from the rudder pedals being a bit off but to me that is still much better than a controller :D
In 2022, I cannot get this working. I followed step by step, disabled steam software, but it still will not work. Not sure if steam changed something, but it now it says "Steam controller" enabled always required..
Oi buddy. I have 3d extreme pro but it does not register button 1 (as a machine gun) and button 6 (as Y) in game. It works inside the emulator. Any idea why?
Thank you, got my Logitech Attack 3 working well enough that I'll be able to make it through the campaign on normal at least. Insanely fun for the $30 I spent total on the game and stick
Just chiming in to say that yesterday I bought AC7 from Steam - then lost my mind for a bit once I realized my joystick was not supported. I was hopping mad. However, this solution worked 100% for my saitek cyborg evo. Thanks.
@@mikebertelsen3083 To use more than one controller in game, you may need to combine them. Try to: 1. Run x360ce.exe 2. Select the [Controller #] tab page corresponding to your additional controller. 3. Open the [Advanced] tab page. 4. Set "Combine Into" drop down list value to: One. 5. Select [Options] tab page. 6. Check "Enable Combining" check-box. (Note: Uncheck "Enable Combining" check-box, when you want to configure the controller.) 7. Click [Save] button. 8. Close x360ce Application, run game.
I got the Ace Combat 6 Ace edge. Having trouble mapping High G turn to the throttle thumb button, and other buttons that require depressing two sticks/Axis. (Flare/Autopilot Level/ High G turn)
So I tried getting this program for my Saitek Cyborg Evo Wireless but as soon as I run this program it bugs out constantly doing the connect and disconnect sounds.
@@FaLCoN-AgT just like in your video, but with joystick instead of controller. I've set the left xbox stick to the Axis of the joystick(stick axis X/Y), rudder to LB/RB, D-Pad to mini Stick on top of the joystick, A/B/X/Y to the top buttons of the stick(look how they are configured in Ace combart, set them to your liking), triggers LT/RT to the thrust slider. :)
Thanks to this video I was able to apply my virpil stick. In my case, there was a guide to install the Virtual Gamepad Emulation Driver in the issue on the right tab of the menu, and it worked normally after installing it. However, the issue tab appeared only when I passed the tab to the right, and after restarting the game several times, I found the issue.
Thank YOU A LOT!!!! this helped me a lot. Im using the mad catz V.1 but it works fine, i had a problem at first becouse e intaled the 64 vergion, but them i instaled the "'for all games" vergion and it worked perfectly ! so thank you!
Didn't work for me. When I launch the game I get this message: "[PAD0] Misconfigured device, check GUIDs." That's when using the new file on the 360ce webpage that is "For all games". And the 64-bit one just won't setup, it says "Unhandled exception had occurred in your application". Looked for fixes - nothing worked. I really wanted to play the game with my VKB flight stick, but I guess I'll have to stick with keyboard and mouse. I really don't understand why Bandai-Namco couldn't make the game detect any stick other than four predetermined ones and give us the option to manually make a setup in-game. Even ArmA 2 and Project Wingman can detect my flight stick and let me map the buttons in the settings, but AC7, a AAA game - no... T_T
Works for my VKB Gladiator Evo. Thanks! How did you map the flare button and change came button? As it's either a single stick press OR a double stick press with no option for both.
Hey. I did everything and it worked. Thanks. But I have one question. I want to set up the yaw function but everytime I try this with my joystick instead of the yaw it changes the camera perspective. I don't know how to change this. Maybe you can help me out.
Using an x52 on windows 10. One glitch I've been getting (when it bothers to launch or recognise x360 at all) is that it will program the X and Y buttons not at 3 and 4, but as 3 and 3.
I got it working after a restart. I'd like to flip the mapping for buttons 3 and 4 but I'm worried I wont be able to get it working again if I do. Previous time I tried It took 3 days to get back to this state.
Hey man, the this tutorial, but can you explain to us how you're mapping the G-turn ? or even the flares? we'll need like extra macro options, to make a unused button act like L2 + R2 for G turn, or the both joystick for flares :/ any idea ?
Hello, for my part it worked thanks to the Saitek SST software, I assigned a key from the keyboard to a button on my joystick, and attributed that key in the game (in keybord assignment section). I don't know which brand is your stick/.. but maybe you can do the same 🙂
My logitech 3d extreme pro works fine except for trigger for machine gun and target switch. Everything is mapped and recognized by the emulator but in game, those two buttons dont work.
I'm trying to get this to work for my Exreme 3D Pro. I've managed to get the game to recognize the stick, but the buttons are all screwed up. They work fine in x360ce, but when I get into the game, they work differently. For example, I set Button 1 (the trigger) to the A button, but when I launch the game, Button 1 does nothing and Button 2 registers as the A button instead. I have no idea what's going on. Any ideas?
I got a t flight hotas for pc. All the buttons work except for camera stick... the controller glitches and moves rolls aircraft sometimes... Sucks. Dont kow what else to do. Thinking of trying xbox ctrler...
Hi the same problem with x52 hotas. i made your configuration and works but...i have on my stick limited roll, left right 45 degree turn and not work at full roll (360 deg.) Also i can't not find the flares button
Any one get this random error that says: "Unhandled exception has occurred in you application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately." ?
So it couldn't find any of the settings for my T.16000M Flight Stick and accompanying TWCS Throttle. Any idea how I can find those and manually import them??
i keep on getting an error when trying to open the x360_x64, whenever i open it a pop up message saying 'Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. error calling SetupDiGetDeviceRegistryPropertyW: 122. ' i have no clue what to do about this, so can someone please help me ????
so i've followed this process step by step and Ace combat 7 is not responding at all to my hotas setup. I'm using the thrustmaster Warthog, the controller emulator recognizes the warthog setup, but nothing I do with the setup in game has any response whatsoever in AC7. is there something else that needs to be done that is not explained in the video? Edit: i've tried setting both the throttle and stick to gamepad, and it still osnt recognized in game at all
@@david6p2 I remember that I essentially told steam to treat it as an Xbox controller but unfortunately I haven't been able to repeat this on my new pc.
Alas, doesn' work for me. Changes nothing in game. Have to use big picture to get any input but even then it's not great. This program doesnt seem to do a thing for me.
Got a Thrustmaster Hotas X. Followed the tutorial step by step. Emulator seems to work (green light ). What do I need to do in Steam itself? What boxes to tick in controller settings? Because it does see the Hotas, but doesn't load the controls that I have assigned. In fact, the only thing that works, is when I make a layout directly in controller settings, but that is a very limited one; LT, LB, RT and RB cannot be properly assigned. Guns and missiles do work. However, steering axis X and Y not functional. Plane stuck in autopilot. Help plz!
I think I've done everything right, but: I use a Saitek X55 Rhino. Now, everything on my throttle works, but nothing works on my stick - like it cant registrer that i am using two devices (they have individual USB ports). Do any of you have a fix for this? :)

Thanks gonna try this now, having a lot of issues getting this to work
This worked for me too - cheers dude!

You are a life-saving.
I have suffered using the keyboard of my laptop to play.
I lack words to say. All I will say is ❤❤❤ thank you
Thank you for doing this, I was able to get this to work with my vkb dual HOTAS, using one for throttle and the other for main controls.
amazingly clear tutorial, worked 100% thanks for fixing this game
Works for logitech extreme 3D joystick
What did you do? Mine keeps telling me Misconfigured device, check GUIDs

JUST USE STEAM BIG SCREEN IT WILL SUPPORT AUTOMATIC
You sir are awesome! worked first try with the x52
This works!!! Thanks man, saved the day! If you have any generic joystick this method works.
Thanks so much! I thought I would have to use my gamepad but its far better when you have a HOTAS, I just wasnt sure exactly how to do it.
I was looking for something like this for terra tech but you still helped! big preach!
