joystick hook

[MamiyaOtaru]

with the new xwa2020 megapack, I can't get more than 20fps in game (in menu shows 100+). If I replace Hook_Joystick_Ff.dll with a previous one (from July 22, 2020) my FPS is where it was before: 100+, dropping some with a ton of stuff on screen.

Alternatively, if I unplug my stick (Thrustmaster t16000m), FPS also goes back up.

Stick with old dll is fine. No stick with new dll (nov 29, 2020) is fine. Stick with new dll means FPS limited to 20. What's going on?

*edit* same issue with December 11 2020 dll

Does anyone have a working profile for Thrustmaster Warthog? I keep getting unconntrollable left roll if my joystick is set as the roll controller with axis 2 used. I can fix the roll with a different axis on my throttle but that's not exactly very practical. Any suggestions?

I'm running into an issue with my X-56, the axes on the stick work perfectly; however, as I like to map Roll to the top rotary on the throttle, i am not able to simultaneously map both the throttle and and the roll to the axes on the throttle device (even after the JoystickConfig update from 12/18/2020). Roll continues to be mapped to stick twist. (Unfortunately, VJOY is not a solution for me.) Any thoughts? Thank you in advance!!!

Can't say I've tried that setup myself, so I can't chime in, however I do have an X-56. Maybe I can try to replicate what you are trying and report back.

Question for everyone, has anyone tried to say setup an Xbox controller or have a working profile for one they got working that they could share?

Don't forget that axes start with 0, not 1, so the uncontrollable roll might be tied to a different axis.

WIP

Hello,
Here is a WIP version of the joystick hook.

You can now select the controllers either by their index (position starting from 0) or by their ID (Product identifier).

Hello,
I've merged the changes from the WIP version into the stable version.

Any updated force feedback hook creates a ghosting effect with every input, including this one, I have to revert. (using hotas and trackir)

[ual002]

I don't mean to derail, but are there modern Joysticks still offering force feedback?

fook yea!!!! finally got it. reinstalled the updated Joystick FF hook, but then set the "select a joystick with force feedback" to -1 and activated FF in game.
so now on the X56, we have both throttle mapped to throttle (index 0) & roll mapped to throttle rotary (index 2)
kinda goofy work around but, we got it. thanks for your help JeremyaFr
