Quadstick co-pilot with XAC

[ACCT Program]

Hello,

Is there a current way to do xbox controller assist with the quadstick and XAC at this time? When I plug the quad into the xbox with the XE2 it views it as an unauthorized controller and so I'm unable to co-pilot.

Thanks!

There are different ways to combine the Quadstick with the XAC.  

1. Quadstick into the XAC.  
• XAC needs a power supply
• Limited button support.  Only 12 out of 16 buttons.
• Mapping of buttons gets complicated.
• No analog triggers from the Quadstick, just buttons for LT and RT.
• Example:  XAC Left USB port
2. XAC into the Quadstick
• Needs a Brook Wingman XE2 between the XAC and the USB-A port on the Quadstick.
• Allows all the XAC buttons and joysticks to be used within the Quadstick configuration file
• Example: XAC via Wingman XE tester
3. Xbox Controller Assist, formerly known as Copilot on either console or PC
• Requires a Brook Wingman XB3 adapter between the Quadstick and the console or PC.
• Only works with XBox One type controllers, not XBox 360 type.
• Does not work with QMP 4 virtual XBox controller on the PC
• Mapping of buttons gets complicated.

You mention the XE2, if you have that, I'd recommend going with method 2, the XAC into the USB-A port on the Quadstick, via the XE2, since that gives you full access to all the inputs inside the Quadstick, but you will still need a Brook Wingman XB3 or a Mayflash Magic-X adapter for the Quadstick to XBox console connection.  A power supply for the XAC is probably not a bad idea if anything is plugged into its USB ports.
