Problem With Hotas X

[Elrondo46]

All running fine but with my Thurstmaster Hotas X there is an issue makes unplayable: the ship goes left and move forward permanently. On linux the joystick is correctly calibrate.

I don't own one of those devices so I won't be able to recreate this myself - but here's a few things to try:

1. turn off Steam Input settings (right-click Elite and select properties, down the bottom of the General tab is a drop-down where you can select 'Forced off')
2. see if the problem occurs in the joy.cpl (instructions below)
3. create a log file for me to look at (instructions below)

For items 2 and 3, you will need to create two entries in user_settings.py that can be found in the root folder of where you extracted this Proton build (you might need to rename it from user_settings.sample.py if you haven't already).

The two entries required are:

    "PROTON_DUMP_DEBUG_COMMANDS": "1",
    "WINEDEBUG": "+timestamp,+pid,+tid,+seh,+debugstr,+module,plugplay,dinput,xinput,hid",

The first entry will create a directory called proton_<username> under your /tmp directory when you next run the game. In this directory is a shell script called run. Run this with the parameters control joy.cpl. For example:
$ /tmp/proton_user/run control joy.cpl

This will bring up Wines joystick control panel. Let me know if the axis work correctly here.

The second entry added to user_settings.py will create a log file in your home directory called: steam-359320.log

If all else fails, please compress and attach this log to this issue and I'll see if I can find the problem.

I'm using a Thrustmaster hotas X and it's working perfectly fine for me. I'm using the 3.16-5 build though, so something might have changed since then.

Remove an pre allocated axe and this i perfect
