@Icer Where do I find “Devices/Game Controllers/Properties (for this device)”?
Yes, my objective is to press the throttle POV (Coolie Switch) up to turn TIR Pause on/off. Thanks to your post earlier that told me about Joy2Key, I’m able to reach my objective. But I’m still looking for ways to do it with AL but without Joy2Key.
My bigger objective is to discontinue my Thrustmaster Warthog TARGET profile “Jc1 Profile” in the “Joystick & Input Devices” section and use AL as my device assignment tool. In my Warthog TARGET profile I do put TIR Pause on the throttle POV (Coolie Switch) and can do other things that AL cannot do. But I don’t think AL will permit TIR Pause without extra tools such as Joy2Key.
As @airtex2019 said in Alt Launcher 2.1.0:
I’m not sure but I only see BMS callbacks for “reload” and “recenter” TrackIR… no “pause” command.
And there are other limitations in AL compared to TARGET. For example in AL there is no LED support, no key sequence support, no multiple key support, no key timing support. But I’d rather use AL and give up those TARGET features for the way AL makes key assignment easy, unless BMS developers add features that make TARGET necessary 😀
Ok, forget about AL for the moment. if your goal is to run without a TARGET script then the hat you are trying to use will not work natively in TIR as it will not accept a “POV” as a button press to actuate it. Running my DX128 TARGET script that Coolie hat UP position sends a DX19 press and works fine in TIR directly. The only solution I know of, without TARGET or Joy2Key, is to use the Mic Switch Hat (Up is DX3) for TIR and use the Coolie Hat for Comms (just checked in AL and it accepts the POV press for Comms just fine).
I’m still confused about the either/or thoughts with AL and TARGET. Without Target you have to use the RELEASE functions in AL to get all the switch positions to work. With TARGET (at least my script) you simply assign a press to a function, including the center position of 3 position switches, could not be easier. Add to that is sets the Coolie hat up as 4 DX #'s instead of “POV” and solves your current issue…
Now, as to getting to Control Panel/ Devices and Printers / Game Controllers my version of Win11 Pro beta has completely flummoxed that up. Win10 there was a category for game controllers and pretty icons for each device. To get to Game Controllers Properties you normally open Control Panel, Select Devices and Printers, find the TM Warthog Throttle, right clik to properties , and the Settings/Test window appears. TEST will show all the DX buttons (up to 32), press a button/hat/switch and the corresponding DX# (or hat) lights up. For me (and maybe you) you select Control Panel, then type “Game” in the search bar. Then select "Set up USB game controllers " on top left, then select your throttle, click properties, then you get the Settings/Test window… Hope this helps and didn’t just dig a deeper hole… 👍
