Programming throttle

Open Starfiretbt opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

How do I program throttle for joystick gremlin? I have a game that doesn't have a throttle control but my joystick does (it's the 1993 dos game "X-Wing"). I'd like to program my throttle slide on my joystick to control my craft's speed. I have figured out how to set my throttle axis to activate a button when it is a specific range but I want my throttle to control my craft at any speed. An example is the button "+" increases my craft's speed by one point but the craft can have a speed of 100 points, do I really need to set 100 remaps just to do that or is there a way to blend them together in a few remaps. By the way to slow down I need to press the button "-"

For that purpose you would be better off using a plugin, two that have been used in the past for that kind of task are:

  • https://gist.github.com/WhiteMagic/ff636574b45a12480fd0bd6f1a92740e

Also the discord chat ( https://discord.gg/szqaJE7 ) is usually more efficient for questions as there are more people that will be able to help.
