Using Joystick and gamepad at the same time ?
-
@Quasi_Stellar ah I misinterpreted “small thumb throttle flipper”
-
@airtex2019 You can use VJoy and Joystick Gremlin to map the gamepad’s axis to a VJoy device axis and change it from absolute to relative. In this way the thing you want to slew will not change back to 50% when the thumbstick goes back to center.
For example I use it for TGP zoom (and antenna elevation). Pushing the thumbstick upwards increments and sticks there, e.g. if I zoomed up to 3.5x I will need to push the thumbstick down to decrease zoom.
Funnily enough, you were the one who nudged me to the correct direction to search it.

@unkindled yeah I remember … I was just playing dumb to see if Quasi knew of something cooler/better

@airtex2019 I’m definitely cooler and better, just not at JG.

@hoover Hi, i’d like to follow up more on this. Both of my Logitech extreme 3d pro are detectable, but BMS can only detect 1 of them(which ever plugged first). Last time i played 2 years ago, BMS can detect more than 1 joystick, and it have index number at the end like (0) and (1). can you help ?
-
@fulkrumabighail I recommend starting a new thread, for the topic of “using two of the same joystick at the same time”
in theory it should work … in reality, nobody is testing that so maybe not. I’m sure with clever use of vJoy/Gremlin it’s possible.

It’s strange that Master @chihirobelmo wonderful AL (alternative launcher) tool doesn’t detect the second joystick.
In the event that it is not detected, I recommend the UCR tool (universal control remapper) together with the virtual joystick emulator VJOY can do with the UCR function button to button and axis to axis, remap all the axes and buttons of the joystick that does not appear in the AL and put it to another virtual joystick that the AL recognizes.
Below I leave the link to the version of the UCR and VJOY that we use in our Wing.

GREETINGS, if you have any questions I will be here.

I haven’t tested this scenario but my guess is Chihiro did this right and BMS does not
The way the two enumerate and identify DX devices is quite different, unfortunately.

Since day 1, when Master Chihiro released the AL, I fell in love with this application, mainly because of all the inventions of controls and keyboards for the kind of homemade cabin that I had at that time, for me that tool was a blessing and what a start to be part of our wing from day one, eliminating thousands of headaches among the wing’s pilots. And when the AL began to be an official part of BMS in its launches, it was heaven itself. I have no doubt that Master Chihiro did it magnificently and will continue to do so in this and other aspects in the development team, but always in case of emergency there is the
(UCR with VJOY)greetings.

@Quasi_Stellar I had the same stick, very customizable!
