I did this but the game isn’t letting me do my inputs. Very frustrating as before the steam update I had my Helo controls EXACTLY how I wanted them (cyclic on left stick, collective/pedals on right stick) but since the update I can’t use my controller layout…meaning I can’t fly helos…meaning I have no reason to play arma. And I love arma. Fucking steam ruined everything.
I have personally moved on to Reforger due to a lot of reasons, but even then am moving on to game development. Should I post what I'm doing there? I'm thinking UE5 Steam Upload. I haven't decided on what type of game I'm going to make. Only requirements so far are, in order: 1. Fun Gameplay Loops 2. Be Popular 3. Don't Go Hungry Should be simple enough (with zero experience). If I fail miserably, that's good content!
@@jollyrogerexperience I’d say post it as a series after you finish so nobody steals your idea. But if you aren’t worried about that yeah man post it! Would be super interesting!
Ensure it's plugged in as ARMA won't recognize it otherwise (that I know of). Make sure your drivers are up to date for the controller if it's not a name brand like XBOX / PS5. Check Steam Settings. ***Usually the problem is just that in ARMA you don't hit "Refresh" at the bottom. It should pop up if it's a valid controller.***
Must be plugged in, and enabled in ARMA 3. There are some steam settings in the video series as well if there are issues maybe check there to make sure to disable Steam override. Then, make sure you hit REFRESH in ARMA 3 Controllers, it should pop up at the top.
Thanks for this, although i did run into some trouble. Im hoping you can help or have a work around lol I wanted to bind my left trigger as Zoom In like the default scheme that is disabled, but because the triggers are set as one axis, i cant zoom and shoot at the same time. In fact, pulling one trigger cancels the other out. And shooting full auto is uncontrollable after just one tug at the trigger lol. I was wondering if theres a way to fix that?? I wanted to make a scheme that more or less allowed me to go from infantry to helo/plane to tank, but im starting to think its not possible
So ive been struggling for over 2 years now almost trying to do a preset for my xbox series s and steam controllers but usualy what ive done is set the triggers with the mouse buttons the only problem ive run into with that is regardless of holding down my LT or just pressing it , it activates ADS (aim) either way its a hassle at times but im hoping after watching this then ill beable to finally start playing some campaigns and create my own campaign on editor and that fancy zeus also (with keyboard and mouse of course) but play it with controller as i can not comprehend keyboard and mouse gameplay plus i have to do one for arma2 and arma gold 😅
If it's not there, try hitting REFRESH at the bottom. Even with my settings done every time I want to play I make sure the game has recognized the controller (and track IR - same issue).
What step did it stop working, or did it not work at all? If it works, but you can't customize it. Make sure you disabled the default scheme. 1:31 Default is in the lower box, make sure that's disabled if it is enabled. Make sure the "Customizable Controllers" above has Xbox enabled for customization. If it doesn't work and you couldn't see the controller, make sure it's plugged into your PC. Make sure you don't have Steam overriding it. 0:13 If that's not the issue, I will make a third video about the XBOX Accessories App. There you can update your controller and fine tune things like back paddles. Also make sure the cord is good, and you don't have conflicting apps.
@@tomillopeludoperez4173 crouch you have to make it one tap prone you have to set it as hold on that same button but my controls are different still I have to go to steam and set my controller up and it’s hard I can’t figure out the sub command how to set them up

Try disabling the controller in the Arma controls settings. Then it should show up as customizable
does this work with Mac? my controller doesn't show up. I have it plugged in and steam input disabled.
I am not sure if it works on MAC :(
It works thx
Glad to help!
My controller doesn’t show up in customizable controllers

Check Steam Settings.

@jollyrogerexperience what do you mean check steam settings
How did you do customizable controller
It doesn't come up for me
Must be plugged in, and enabled in ARMA 3.

You got to keybinds and change it
Can u shoot in fire fight using controller?
You can do anything, but are limited by buttons and combos.

I ended up using my bumpers for fire / zoom and the triggers for other things. It's a pain I haven't figured out yet.

how do you put it in if i have a a wireless 360 pc controller and no plug in?
unfortunately must be plugged in, at least as far as I am aware. no way to receive the signal otherwise.
Now see ive done all this but its still not working its not coming up in arma3 controller options

Don’t work for me

How can I use the same button with 2 functions like crouch and prone?
@@jollyrogerexperience oh so it had to wired controller ?
