Hello Citizens! Has anyone tried Virpil and VKB flight sticks in Linux? Will the software run in Wine to configure the sticks? Looks like SC itself will run in Proton, so the next step is peripherals.

How about head tracking with TrackIR or Tobii?

    Think you have to configure the sticks on Windows. Don’t think Wine can do this. That’s hearsay though so YMMV. Mine are software anyway or just work™.

    TrackIR API works. I demo this here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7n4hwABJFU (it’s also on PeerTube but our instance is bust atm)

    TrackIR hardware does not. That’s a blackbox since v5. Tobii hardware does AFAIK not work but this may change any day. Some people started hacking at this again and again.

    Also do check out the StarCitizen LUG and the helper scripts: https://github.com/starcitizen-lug/lug-helper

      I’m not sure what you’re saying here. Is there some abstraction software you are using? I’m forgetting the name of the software. Or are the sticks just working?

        Both. It’s complicated. Wild mix of my trusty X52 Pro, my own virtual joystick written in Rust and AntiMicroX and/or Moltengamepad.
