vJoy locking out button presses in 3D
-
Anyone use vJoy that may have some ideas on what I am doing wrong?
I am trying to have a few select button presses on my stick trigger a keyboard command, pretty straight forward, right? I want to stay away from Target as it is really just one or two key presses I am trying to achieve.
When I installed vJoy and Joystick Gremlin everything appears to work fine.
-
In windows and I can see the key press in notepad as expected.
-
In Alternate Launcher (v2.1) under the key mapping when I push buttons on my throttle or stick everything works as expected.
-
Even in BMS in the setup controllers the correct buttons show as being pressed when I press a button on my throttle or stick.
The problem is when I go to 3D none of my buttons are doing anything in the pit. The analog axis are working correctly, but no button presses are being recognized. Is vJoy and Joystick Gremlin only supposed to work if all buttons are mapped to keys and it cant be a combination of key presses and DX buttons? I thought maybe it was the DeviceSorting order but the order is correct with vJoy as the last item in the list. Also with it pulling up the correct button press in AL and in setup controllers in BMS it doesn’t appear to be the DeviceSorting order.
Any ideas would be much appreciated. Trying to trigger my screen recording software to do a instant replay save when I press the pickle button, trigger detent #2, or eject. Am only able to get OBS to map a keyboard key to the hotkey and not a DX key.
Thanks

…do you run Falcon in window mode or full screen? Eventually try to ALT TAB out and in from 3D…or run falcon and gremlin in administrator mode?
-
and…if another software plugin than gremlin grabs all existing vJoy devices then that plugin is preventing any other program from accessing unused vJoy devices. A vjoy device can be used by only one process at a time. In that case, you have to create a second vjoy device for the other software…

@Cop23rd - thanks for the ideas.
Falcon runs in window mode, I tried ALT TAB out after in 3D but still no buttons working in 3D. I also tried running BMS as Admin but again no buttons in 3D. This is all with vJoy uninstalled and gremlin not running. Do you know of any services that could be running in the background that need to be killed or any registry entries that need to be deleted? May just need to do a reinstall of BMS.

@zeek Sorry, no idea anymore…

@Cop23rd looks like I found the problem. It was due to a config setting in the Falcon BMS and Falcon BMS User CFG file. Not sure if it was user error or due to Alternate Launcher. Will post over there to see if anyone else has seen a similar problem.
