Vjoy joystick
« on: October 11, 2021, 06:25:28 PM »
So having some trouble using VA and vjoy joystick for Elite Dangerous. I have setup some basic commands that seem to register in the vjoy monitor (button;1;13;down pause 1 button;1;13;up) and the light in the monitoring software is red for 1 second and then turns off. However in the game nothing happens. Is there additional mapping I have to do for the game to register it? The option for "send command to target" is the elite dangerous client. Any help would be great!

Have you set up the vJoy device in the game's settings to trigger specific functions?
The vJoy device is completely separate from any other joystick devices, and is basically the equivalent of plugging in another physical joystick; if the game isn't set up to respond to that device, it won't.


Targeting options don't apply to joystick input like that, as it is actively polled for by an application, rather than received from the Windows input system like keyboard and mouse input.
