Separate joysticks for F16 and F15
-
Hi,
I have two sticks connected, the FSSB R3 for the F16 and a VPC Warbird with Thrustmaster grip for the F15.
Is it possible to create two different profiles not only for the keybindings bit for the axes too?

@pjgs I have the same question.
I use one stick for the F-16 (winwing mfssb) and the other stick (usually in DCS) for the other planes.
Now I made the bindings for the F-15, but the axis are the same of the F-16.
So probably for now, it is not possible.
Probably an idea could be to create a virtual device with Joystick gremlin and assign that virtual axis in BMS (so both joystick x/y axis are bound to the same virtual device).
But for now I don’t have the time to setup and try that. -
Asked if it could be done with the Launcher soon: https://forum.falcon-bms.com/post/383427
Basically, a lot of moving parts until/if BMS supports multiple axismapping.dats. @airtex2019 recommended making scripts for each.

@Snake122 One problem with my proposal to copy-down profiles from subdirectories … if you make any edits to your cfg or bindings in the Config directory (either via AL or by hand) it will be way too easy to accidentally overwrite them.
A better way, is to make ‘Config’ a directory-symlink which points to either ‘Config_ProfileA’ or ‘Config_ProfileB’ directories. Then you’ll always be editing the normative copy of one of the profiles…
Here’s a sample startup script to flip the Config symlink to point to ProfileA, then launch BMS:
@echo off :: :: Start BMS with 'Profile A' cd /d "C:\Falcon BMS 4.37" :: remove existing symlink, if present if exist .\User\Config\. rd .\User\Config\. || goto :eof :: set Config symlink to point to Config_ProfileA directory mklink /j .\User\Config .\User\Config_ProfileA :: start BMS .. todo: also start RTT, OpenTrack or voice or other companion processes start "BMS" ".\Bin\x64\Falcon BMS.exe" -window -nomovie -novr
Save that cmd file somewhere, make a copy for ProfileB, then make yourself a pair of desktop shortcuts.
Disclaimer: I can’t say this is “supported” … swimming is at own risk! But it seems fine so long as you’re not targeting a remote network share or making a cyclic-loop or something crazy.
