Arma 3 unable to utilize buttons of an XBOX ELITE-controller in Spectator
Reviewed, NormalPublic

Description

Hey there!

I recently bought an XBOX ELITE-controller for use in gaming on my PC. A few days of fooling around later, I thought I'd try to rebind some of my splendid camera bindings to the controller. The thought process behind this of course is to shoot filmatic videos of my community while I'm in spectator.

Problem is, after binding everything from the "Camera" menu in the options, most of my controllers buttons didn't seem to register to the game at all.
I was able to move, move my view, use the slower speed adjuster using my controller, with these functions assigned to both the thumbpads and one trigger. I was also able to adjust height using the two lower trigger buttons.

Problems occured when trying to use the extreme speed modifier, zoom in and zoom out, toggle vision mode and toggle interface controls. None of these controls seemed to register with my setup (Image below).

This is probably a problem with arma 3 not being set up for an ELITE controller I guess. It kind of kills the point of even having a controller for shooting filmatic videos though, if I can't bind everything I need to it.

The controller shows up in the "controller" list like this:

And here is my keybinding setup.
