    Which settings are you looking for?
    Everyone's motion sim build is different, and so are the settings which work well.

    One piece of advice I can offer is that when using the joystick plugin with games "less is more" because if you crank it up things really start to feel fake and canned.
    Subtle movements are far more convincing.

    Oh, OK understood.
    You'll need to have the Tuning Center open, and then move the joystick around, then make a note of which values correspond to which directional movement.
    Then enable and tweak those values in your axis assignments/movements.
    You can then disable ones which you won't need.
    Hope that helps.

    Hi
    Can this plugin be made to work with multi input devices?
    more of are now using seperate pedals etc ;)

    i know vjoy and gimx might be an option but those programs come with there own problems:(

    EDIT: Got pedals, wheel and shifter working with a Gimx Adapter off to test in game ;)

    Hey guys! In the absence of a Star Citizen plugin I'm looking at using this joystick plugin for flying in SC until they eventually (years off yet) expose telemetry. I did confirm with Chris Roberts personally that telemetry will get exposed when the game is finished as promised by a rather vaguely worded stretch goal.

    I just have one question, can you use a "button" input to change the response curve of other axes while held? I want this feature for "afterburner", which drastically increases acceleration in whatever direction you are applying thrust (may be surge, heave, sway or any combination of the three at any given point in time).

    So basically I just want the surge, sway, and heave cues to be increased by 50% to 100% when this one button is held. Can I do that?

    Thanks!

    I’ve only had a limited play with this and I don’t think that’s possible all I could get out of a button press was a jolt which worked well as a fire button.:( Sozz

    That's more or less what I expected, I wonder if this could be added?

    You ignore the DOF and just setup the directions base off movement ie if you press the gas pedal setup direction so your seat moves backwards, brake pedal moves forward etc

    Once you get numbers in TC when moving wheel and press pedals you then need to take note of I will use Brake pedal as an example when you press the brake numbers will move in TC use that force ie roll to set direction in the axis assignments play with the direction buttons until you get the movement you want from the brake pedal.

    hello

    it is possible to rec the values and after use the record with video ride recorder?

    for example : i Watch a video and i move the joystick in the same time, i record the telemetry of the joystick and i Apply this record in video ride recorder

    thank you

    Hello, i saw in a post that probably the port to change or axis (b) to configure.
    I m not very sure but i think the guy have the same problem of you.

    Where i can find manual or tutorial for video ride recorder or video ride creator? Because you said to patch something and i dont see any information to install and how to use ( for a beginner) . I never use all this soft and i ll be happy to find a tutorial that explain step by step ;)

    [QUOTE = "Sam Neall, post: 197911, membre: 33528"] Vous devez acheter SimTools professional pour que le lecteur de vidéo ride fonctionne avec votre simulateur.

    Bonjour je vous remercie

    j'ai la licence pro de simtools.
    j'ai branché un joystick sur mon ordinateur, j'ai lancé l'enregistreur vidéo, j'ai lancé vrcinput, je déplace mon joystick mais je ne vois rien ...
    comment contrôler l'efficacité de votre joystick?

    EDIT: j ai réussis a utiliser video ride Creator, et d en sortir une video avec son fichier cfg de telemetrie. je l ai lue avec player video ride et les valeurs bougent donc ca marche.
    mais maintenant comment je peux utiliser ce que j ai fait pour faire bouger mon simulateur?

    Pour les jeux je mets le plugin dans plug in updater, puis je trouve le nom de mon jeux dans la liste deroulantye de simtools manager, je patch le jeu si besoin, et je lance simtools engine que je parametre ses axes puis je lance mon jeu et tout fonctionne mon simulateur bouge avec le jeu.
    Mais avec la video qu on vient de créer on fait comment?

    Hello,

    now i see values in tuning center :thumbs

    but i can changes values with the joystick in the video ride center...

    that is what i m doing to test if it work :

    1/i put the joystick exe in the seamtools folder
    2/i drag the zip file joysting plug in in the simtools updater plug in
    3/in the simtools manager i choice joystick in the menu
    4/ i patch and indicate the path c/programs x86/steam its ok
    5/ i launch jostyck .exe
    6/i launch tuning center

    now i see values of surge and sway that changes when i move my joystick

    i can say now it works

    But i dont know how use the joystick plug in to changes values in video ride Creator:

    1/ i launch video ride creator
    2/i load a video
    3/i launch simtools manager and i select joystick (the patch is done)
    4/i launch simtools engine and tuning center
    5/i launch joystick exe and i choice my joystick and i clic close

    6/i launch vrc input and i choice an effect (like surge)

    7/ i clic rec in video ride center

    8/i move the joystick but the first ball dont move, she move when i use the vrcinput cursor but not when i move the joystick...

    have you an idea ? i do a mistake?

    Hi all,
    As anyone managed to make this plugin work with the Thrusmaster Joystick Hotas Warthog? I have other game controller on my PC including the Thrusmaster TWCS Throttle and rudder pedals. Both are working but I can't get the Hotas to work. Any idea or suggestion?
