Throttle control is just slightly nudging the throttle speed

Open DanteRoach opened this issue 3 years ago • 10 comments

When I try to use the throttle the character in-game just moves the throttle slightly forward than when I stop moving the throttle it goes back to the original state. It seems like the throttle control is affecting the throttle control more like a joystick than a slider

Could you try and confirm whether this is a bug in the overlay or just an ED game quirk?

The throttle position in the overlay (there's a line representing it) should just map directly to a vJoy axis, which should be bound to ED's throttle axis.

The in-game throttle handle however doesn't directly map to the throttle axis sent to ED. IIRC it takes other in-game situational things into account. e.g. IIRC when you're docked, etc... it won't be at full throttle even if your physical throttle input is at full throttle.

  • Does this behaviour have a similar joystick like effect on the ship's movement in space? If it does then
  • Open up vJoy Monitor and check the z-axis on the first vJoy device. When you grab the overlay's throttle and move it, does the vJoy z-axis move as you'd expect with your movements of the throttle (going up to +1 as you push the throttle forwards and staying there)? If so then EVRC is probably working as expected and there's a bindings issue of some sort.

So the joystick works fine and I checked the z-axis in vjoy and it reacts to the throttle in a normal way. All the throttle does in-game though when I move it is stutter when I move it. It reminds me of a game confusing controller inputs for mouse inputs.

Could you share your bindings file?

Where do I find that?

DanteRoach avatar Jun 04 '21 04:06 DanteRoach

It's the Custom.3.0.binds file. The desktop view actually prints out a log line with the full path when it reads it.

It won't let me share the file because it apparently doesn't support it should I convert it to a different file type?

It's a basic text/xml file. If you can't upload it for some reason you could rename it to .xml or .txt.

Custom.3.0.txt

Can't find anything strange in the bindings file. I can't really figure out what your issue is.

Maybe I'll try reinstalling everything. Thanks for the help man
