Throttle setup for KMJ Emulator

Post by smerch »

Hello all.

I'm trying to setup KMJ to work with Star Citizen.
While all goes well I still need that throttle slider to be set up.
I'm using directions from this thread and a JoystickTemplate.xml file shipped with device driver.
Currently I was able to setup all of the device axis as corresponding axis for KMJ but no luck for throttle.
Is this throttle slider can be set up at all?
If so, please guide me how to setup throttle.

Thank you.

We don't make it easy. Our GUI doesn't help with AxisAction mapping.

You will need to assign ActionID HIDJoystick_Throttle to a device axis. I see I have not even added that to the JoystickTemplate.xml. It is in Base.xml.

You need to do this in the XML using your favorite XML editor (e.g., notepad++ with XML extensions installed).

If you have done that and it doesn't work, PM the cfg you created to me. Or post it here for others to see.

Hi.

I've got some progress but unfortunately got mixed results. While setting HIDMultiAxis_X axis to HIDJoystick_Throttle kinda works but application not see throttle slider updates unless there is another input from different axis.

I attached joy.cpl version of settings file I use (for better clarity), it's identical to one I use for Star Citizen.
