PS3 No Longer Recognises My Joystick

[axhat]

It probably decided to wait for the patch like the rest of us.......

Sry, had to do it, I'm not sure about the PS 3 as far as hardware goes, but when the patch is released PS3 will get a deadzone adjusting option.

There aren't a ton of people left on these forums, I'd prob check on the thrustmaster website, ya might get a quicker answer.

good luck!

This might seem obvious but the switch on the back is set to PS3 and not PC?
I accidently switched mine and the same thing happened...

Yes I was going to say the same thing.

Look at the switch.

I checked ... it's correctly set to PS3, not PC.

Any other suggestions?

It's so damn annoying because the joystick was working!

This is all I could find, sorry if its old news;

- Your joystick’s USB selector (3) must always be set to the “PS3” position before connecting your joystick to the console.

- In “1 Player” mode: If your official gamepad is on, you must switch it to “controller port 2” in order for your joystick to be functional.

- On PlayStation® 3, the joystick is only compatible with PlayStation® 3 games (and will not function with PlayStation® 2 games).

- When connecting your joystick: Leave the handle, rudder and throttle centered and do not move them (to avoid any calibration problems).

Thanks a lot axhat - you got me on the right track!
I found that my joystick became "operational" again when I moved the (gamepad) controller to port no. 1.

Back to the tutorial!
