Controller detected, but not installed?
I have 3 input controllers, a joystick, a throttle and rudder pedals (1 axis only), 2 of which are detected and show up in Game Controller as well as in games, but the the third one, the rudder pedals only show up in lsusb, and I believe I also see it as js0 under /dev/input/
The rudder pedals work fine in windows, and others have reported that they work in their Linux distros.
I am brand new to Linux and I am lost as to how to proceed. Any help appreciated.

I found a solution from some helpful DCS flight simmers:
1. I made a udev rule in: /etc/udev/rules.d/98-virpil.rules
By using the command "lsusb" in a terminal, I could find the correct id's for my rudder pedals, and I entered it into the 98-virpil.rules file like so:...

install oversteer, its the only thing that supports steering wheels and stuff
i dont own any so i cant help past that
Ok, I will try that. Thanks for the quick reply!
np, not all steering wheels are supported though
but oversteer is the best we have
Yeah, they are rudder pedals for flightsim, but I guess they can be interpreted as a wheel, since it's just 1 axis. 🤔
open terminal and run
ujust install-oversteer or try their flatpak (i believe they have one)
try the flatpak first though
no idea, i only know about the steering wheels and such 😅I installed the flatpack. Does not show up in devices.. tried unplugging and plugging back in.
Strange the 2 other devices from the same company works.
They have an onboard EEPROM, and the firmware is flashed and up to date in windows.
i dont know then sorry, im not familiar with any sim hardware sadly (lack of space and all that)
Ok, thanks anyway 🙂
np, my expertise is more about setting up weird VMs :clueless:

Custom Joystick Udev Rules
Virpil Rudder Pedals
ACTION=="add", \
ATTRS{idVendor}=="3344", ATTRS{idProduct}=="01f7", \
MODE="0664", ENV{ID_INPUT_JOYSTICK}="1", TAG+="uaccess", \
RUN+="/usr/bin/evdev-joystick --e %E{DEVNAME} --d 0"
2. I then unplugged my rudder pedals, and restarted the udev rules by typing: "sudo udevadm control --reload" in a terminal
3. I then replugged my rudder pedals and now it shows up and works everywhere.
