FS force and RealTrim

Post by liazkam » Tue May 25, 2010 7:48 pm

I want to use RealTrim app (google it) in order to use the mouse wheel as trim control. Can I do it from FS force 1?

RealTrim is an ingenious little program design for mechanical joysticks. You shouldn't use it in conjunction with a force feedback joystick and FS Force. Unfortunately FS Force is not able to read input from the mouse wheel.

You can easily do all kind of inputs binding with Glovepie. What you want could be done with a simple script like this:

Code: Select all

joy.button5=Released(mouse.wheelup)
joy.button4=Released(mouse.wheeldown)
This means that whenever there is a mouse wheel event in the up direction, a press of the button 5 of the joystick is generated. And a press of the button 4 when down.

Or using a ppjoy virtual joystick, you can set the value of a joystick axis like this:

Code: Select all

ppjoy.Analog0=MapRange(mouse.DirectInputZ,-1.0,1.0,-10000,10000)
