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?

[killsinthenight]

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,

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?

UPDATE

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

does anyone have a gamepad they'd recommend? thinking about getting a ps4 controller (currently have a logitech f310) and am looking for something better, but not super expensive. thanks!

Hello everyone. I am new to this forum but not to this game.
I had a question. I have the Rhino X56G Logitech Hotas. The hat switch you normally use for looking around, keeps on moving the look upwards in a complete circle, I changed the hat switch command to not use the hat switch anymore and it stopped it. However now if I select any switch on my control stick power to shields from lasers, target near craft, anything it changes the weapons by cycling through them. I have no figured out how to stop this from happening. I have changed and calibrated everything. Any suggestions?

I find it strange that the joystick when plugged by itself does this, I am not using the throttle as that will not work. It would be great if one day it does with a update. I have tried calibrating everything, setting all the buttons, double checking it and still this problem persists.
Angel from the Tie fighter conversion mod sent me over here for some help.

Using Update 4.0 on Windows 10 with a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro.

If I set the deadzones to 95% in the Logitech software, and disable small movement (setting seems to have no effect BTW) in the Xwa Joystick Config tool, my ship drifts significantly to the right.

What's going on? With these deadzone settings I have to push the joystick almost to the edge to get it to respond, so why is it drifting within the deadzone, when the joystick driver is surely reporting that it's centered?

Edit: I *may* have solved it by bringing up the default Windows properties instead of the Logitech one in the Game Controllers control panel app, which allows you to recalibrate the joystick. You can access this by holding Ctrl+Shift while clicking Properties.

Also, unplugging and re-connecting the joystick's USB connector did *not* help.

I have the same joystick and no issues.
Rename Hook_Joystick_Ff.dll to BackupHook_Joystick_Ff or something and try the in game settings

MY problem is visible in the video, in the Contreoller setting in windows, the joystick is exactly in the middle, so should have no left rotation. in August everything still worked

[Avarice1987]

Update: XWA Vanilla install all works fine, dont know where the Problem is, can anyone help?

You setup the joystick in the configuration option from the launcher.

If not rename hookjoystick.dll to something else and use the vanilla in game options.
Might have the name wrong as not on pc

If I disable inverted rudder and enabled rudder then everything works ( i post it on 29.11.2020 in megamod thread
