Alt Launcher 2.1.0
-
Anyone else having this problem? When I did the update from 2.0 to 2.1, everything I had programmed in the keymapping section is still there and working there. But, when I launch into the 2-D Falcon Setup/Controllers screen, nothing works but the axis’. No buttons or any of the other DX stuff I have like Cougar MFD’s, etc. work.

I use a Warthog HOTAS and TM Bezels, the transition from 2.0 to 2.1 caused no issues, all buttons/hats/switches work perfectly. In my case I had to reprogram the Throttle as I changed it to take advantage of BMS and AL’s ability to use 128 DX assignments per unit…
-
@MailMan I had a similar problem in that after I did the update from 2.0 to 2.1, everything on my throttle (but only my throttle…) stopped working. In >User>Config I deleted all the “Setup.v100…” .xml files relating to my throttle (I had four of them as I was in 4x32 mode with my throttle), changed the throttle to DX128 mode and just rebound my buttons. All working fine since then.
-
The previous version works, I just keep saying NO to updating it.
-
Possibly old 32DX XML might have a problem with 2.1.0. I applied convert logic to AL2.1 but I’ll check it again.

@MailMan Check in BMS Setup - Controllers to see which key file is being used. I am having a weird problem where BMS is always using “BMS - Auto” instead of “BMS - Full”
-
Immediately after launching AL and no intervention, which file, Auto or Full, is actually being used?
-
@jc1 I believe if there is no BMS - Auto.key file when assigning key mappings in AL it will copy the BMS - Full.key file and rename it to BMS - Auto.key. So in your picture BMS - Auto.key is in use its just that the comment says is BMS - Full

@chihirobelmo I have TrackIR Pause assigned to F11 within TIR. Is there any way in AL that I can bind F11 to a DX in AL?

Why not just assign an existing DX button press in TIR?
-
@Icer Could you list the steps I should take to do what you suggest.

Sure, choose a joystick/throttle/ or any button that sends a DX press. Open the TIR main window, choose the profile you want to use (I have one called BMS 4.36, set to Exclusive). Select the “Action” window and choose what you want to assign (Pause in your case). Click on the “Key” button (yours likely has F11 on it). Window pops up with “Enter Desired Hotkey or button for : Pause”. Hit the button you want to actuate Pause, it should show up, save the profile, done…

@Icer I think you may have misunderstood my question. I already said I had F11 assigned to Pause in TIR. So, your response doesn’t say anything that I already did. I was asking how to assign the F11 key to a DX in Alternative Launcher.

I was offering an alternative to using a KB keypress to actuate a TIR function. I think if you for some reason need F11 to be the actuator you will need to use a program like Joy2Key to assign F11 to a DX press…
-
I tried using “=” as the alternative for a KB press for Pause in TIR. Now how can I get AL to bind that?
-
@Icer I acquired Joy2Key and got it work with TrackIR for F11. Running Alternative Launcher I can now pause TrackIR in BMS.
But still, I tried using “=” as the alternative for a KB press for Pause in TIR. Now how can I get AL to bind that, so I don’t have to use Joy2Key at all?
-
i think the alt launcher needs the checkmark it had on the previous version to keep the current Falcon bindings with no overwriting. And the option to let us select the keybinds.

I’m not sure but I only see BMS callbacks for “reload” and “recenter” TrackIR… no “pause” command.

Couple questions to be sure i’m clear.
Is your objective to press a button on your joystick/throttle/button box/whatever to turn TIR Pause on/off?
Without Joy2Jey running, in Devices/Game Controllers/Properties (for this device) , what DX# lights up natively when you press this button? (In my case I use the “Boat Switch” on my Warthog throttle for TIR Recenter (DX10) and Pause (DX12).
I know you were trying to get different keys (“F11” first and now “=”) to work, I just want to be sure you aren’t wasting a lot of effort for nothing as TIR allows for DirectX assignments…
-
@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
