Poor Mans HOTAS (HOGAS ?)
-
Hi everyone. Been flying Falcon with an old and trusty Logitech Extreme 3d pro for quite some time.
But flying in a HOTAS aircraft with such limited hardware is a chore.Thus I present you the HOGAS ! The poor man’s HOTAS.
With the help of Joystick Gremlin,Vjoy And HID-HIDE and a gamepad laying around you can experience the real basement pilot life.
-You need to setup 2 Vjoy devices, 1st one with 96 buttons and 1 HAT and 2nd one with 32 Buttons with no HAT (if you want to use my Gremlin profile. I randomly created the button numbers. Its a bit messy.)
-Right analog stick is setup as “Relative” in JG to make it act like an actual rotary axis. (radar elevation and man range doesn’t actually return to the center when let go. )
-Gamepad D-Pad acts as a modifier for TMS/CMS/DMS/Trim Hats. So you press the desired modifier and use the HAT on the stick to go up/down/left/right.
-You better hide your actual gamepad and joystick from the falcon using HID-Hide. it makes setting up much easier. (Otherwise, Launcher picks up actual buttons, not Vjoy device ones.)
