Navigate with a Game Controller | Feedback E-mail this topic Print this topic

There are numerous game controllers and joysticks that you can use with ArcGIS Explorer. To make support as generic as possible, the bindings of buttons and sticks to the functions indicated below have been made. The functionality is present provided the device has the appropriate control. In many cases, you can use two controls simultaneously; for example, Stick 1 and Stick 2 to direct flight.

ArcGIS Explorer automatically detects the controller on startup, so the device should be plugged in to the machine before starting the application.
