Connecting a joystick to the game

[Ryan_Brading]

I would just like a step by step guide (if it is possible to), connect a thrustmaster joystick. I have an adapter on my phone but I am unsure on how to make it work with the game. I feel that for me this could increase realism when grinding to G3.

Hey there!

What sort of phone do you have - Android or iPhone? It affects how you are able to connect a joystick.

I have an iPhone XS with iOS 18. I have a usb adapter that allows me to connect a keyboard (as an example)

Yeah with iOS devices, you can’t connect a joystick directly.

You need to use a program called Map Connect - it does require a computer. See the links below:
