I do not use the hat for views.

Same thought here there is no auto dispense all callback and other than that callbacks are not invoked by a itself so either a keyboard or joystick input is needed. Cause of that I would assume it’s not a keyfile but more an input issue

Thankx for the adv. I shall try.

@Huesudo:

My HOTAS, with an analog ministick as cursor, broke. Now I’m using another stick, with the POV hat as cursor. But there’s a small problem.
The cursor accelerates rather slowly.
I’ve found a config option to change the cursor speed, but not how long it takes to reach that speed.

Is there some way to change that?

The option in falcon bms.cfg for exponential curve on Cursor X and Y that allow for that only work if the cursor is used on a analog axis. There is no parameter to set it if keystrokes are used other than the cursor speedsetting itself in configurator

I struggled with these confusingly named/labeled callbacks too…

I think the default g_nKnobAccelerationDelta is 60 (milliseconds) which is borderline too fast to hit repeated keypresses… unless you’re really trying hard.

60 ms is good for mousewheel-rotary and encoder-knob clicks… but for key presses or dx button presses, I recommend 200 to 300 ms.

Just updated my Driver and Software to 7.0.55.13.
Still no joy

Thank you! @Icer Just a few mappings to iron out, but I am airborne.

Now, I have to stay after class and write lines:
I love my flight path marker. I will never leave it again.
I love my flight path marker. I will never leave it again. 🆒

Thanks! Yes, installing the Alternative Launcher solved the problem. I was able to reassign the throttle to the correct input. Now it’s time to program my stick.

Hello.
I had had a problem with my joystick. I have a madcatz cyborg v1 and MS sidewinder precision 4 joysticks(Twist stick).
Using the precision4 and the cyborg v1 , the rudder fuction suddenly didn’t work.
It was normally operated when I check by Device & printer. But in the BMS controller setting, the rudder fuction didn’t work .
I checked advance option and set the rudder as a joystick but still can’t react with the rudder movement.

please let me know clear this problem. Thank you.

Forum Search is pain in the a… ever tried to search for config variables in 90 % of the cases no search result even so they clearly appear in multiple threads

Oh wow - I take it back. You are right! Just played around with it, though I had used it successfully before, pretty bad with the single keyword searches.

Was just joking around with my reply anyway, cuz I thought it was funny to recommend an external site to search for a top-10 post in this same sub-forum - just teasing. :nosep:

It’s possible that DirectInput API layer imposes some tighter limits, than does the HID/RawInput API layer… so far as I know, DirectInput today is just a legacy-compat shim built on top of RawInput.

I don’t know the device limits or buttons-per-device limit of RawInput but the HID “usage” fields are all 16 bits…

Hi guys.
Thanks for taking time to reply. I’ve taken all of your suggestions into account and I will try all of them now. Hopefully this is the only issue that needs to be addressed.

Thanks again.

Yes, rear switch is double spring loaded. Open on either switch overrides the other.

Hi, my first post here ^^

Does the GrEaSeLiTeNiN key file still work in 4.35? I use the Hotas X, too and finally want to take some time to get in F4 BMS. Usually I fly civil flight sims since 2000 and am doing a real-world ultra light license since a few years, so I know the basics of flying and I can takeoff, find my way around and land in the F-16 pretty “okay”, but once it comes to the actual fighting which requires to use lots of buttons, I am still confused 😄 I try to use my existing T.Flight Hotas X before buying some more advanced hardware maybe…

I installed the key file and although I have to select it again each time I start the game (a bit annoying), I think it works (when I press a button in the config screen, it shows the associated function which matches GrEaSeLiTeNiN’s description, but I don’t know enough yet about how the systems should behave to really say “it works”).

(cross-post of https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?41786-A-mouse-as-throttle-(HOJAM)-experiment-for-Falcon-BMS&p=571903&viewfull=1#post571903 )

I recently added a small bonus-feature to my HOJAM prototype, to allow remapping mouse buttons 4-5 to arbitrary keyboard scancodes.

This doesn’t really have anything to do with the original purpose of manipulating throttle… so I thought it might be of wider interest – cross-posting it here in case anyone is searching for a way do this.

To use the fourth/fifth mouse button remapping, without the mousewheel-dragging, simply delete or comment-out all but the bottom 2 elements in the .config file:

Some ideas:

Currently it only supports unshifted key presses (no ctrl/alt/shift modifiers) so you may have to alter your keyfile a bit to what you want.

Sound like you got it … but yeah there are some weird hardcoded defaults in play, with the mousewheel. Even if you have FOV mapped to an axis … and mousewheel mapped to something else entirely.

eg. I fly with throttle bound to mousewheel as part of my HOJAM experiment… it similarly starts off at the 50% position (ie. about 75% MIL power).

And if you click the mousewheel-button, it still restores default FOV and head-position, as normal. But it also snaps the throttle back to 50% point! lol

(thankfully, press-and-hold the wheelbutton allows moving head position in 6dof … without affecting the throttle.)

It seems these mousewheel behaviors are essentially hardcoded, and changing them is not well supported (except maybe for ‘g_bMouseWheelKnobs’ in cfg).

I expect I’ll need to ditch the mousewheel-as-throttle hack, at some point, and use vJoy if I want to continue flying this way.

Thanks guys
Problem solved- I had to add the line and use the default 0.
Thanks again.

APC to “talk” with BMS!!??

That’s exactly where you are wrong… You have to “play” to BMS
And then it dance.
:bdance::bdance::rofl:

It’s probably the best idea to sacrifice the slider axis, as you can still use it for the mastermode switch.
