help with joystick debugging...

aargh, using a virtual joystick driver called vJoy. vJoy shows up in the hardware tab of BeamNG, but its not reporting any inputs. all zero.

I know that the values are in there, becuase other programs work with vJoy.

Any ideas on some "under the hood" troubleshooting? thanks.

so I started to RTFM, and i want to look at input maps, but all the posts related to them (are old) and refer to directories in the game folder that don't exist (anymore).

 

Do you own the car in your avatar? if so dopeness.

 

the pic is from a 1985 Honda Accord hatchback that I bought for a few hundred bucks back in 1999. Had over 200k miles, but was an awesome car. very regrettably I had to scrap it in 2001....

 

That's a shame. I know a classic when I see it.

 

well im kinda cobling together my own. I rippped the guts out of a an old logitech wheel, installed a small encoder (directly coupled to the steering shaft) and I programmed an Arduino to keep track of the position and send the data to the PC. I have a Visual basic program that reads the data from the Arduino, and then pumps it into the vJoy "virtual joystick". Its a shame I can't get it to work. I suppose I could just buy a proper wheel, but this kindof stuff is my hobby.

 

Yes the values show up fine in the windows devices control panel. I started a support case (7724) ticket # 11102.

Thank you so much!
