Author	Topic: Joystick POV
Mirthain Pilot	posted 03-04- 06:21 PM Is there a way to change how the Joystick POV works from the Keyboard.inp file? Do I need another .INP file to specify changes? I would like to try the POV panning mode (In the spirit of don't knock it til you try it), but my joystick doesn't support programming. I have to manually set all the button functions in the Keyboard.inp file. If there is a way of changing the default action of the joystickPOV function for views, could someone please let me know. Thanks, Mirthain=FC= IP: Logged
Nat Pilot	posted 03-05- 04:11 AM Hey Mirth, you mean to use the POV to look around when your in the cockpit, or pan around when your external? If so I thought that was normal if you have POV, it's been there since I installed my Interceptor anyway, thing is, anyone else reading this can tell me if it's possible to configure the othe 2 POV buttons let us know aswell. Anyway Mirth, if thats what you want, here is the whole View section of my Keyboard inp, although you only need the one line from it.. ;--------------------------------- ; ; View movement ; ;--------------------------------- inpViewPOV = JoystickPov inpViewForward = Bounce Numpad8 inpViewAft = Bounce Numpad2 inpViewLeft = Bounce Numpad4 inpViewRight = Bounce Numpad6 inpViewUp = Bounce Numpad5 inpViewDown = Bounce Numpad0 \| Bounce NumpadDecimal inpViewPanUpDigital = Bounce Shift Numpad8 inpViewPanDownDigital = Bounce Shift Numpad2 inpViewPanLeftDigital = Bounce Shift Numpad4 inpViewPanRightDigital = Bounce Shift Numpad6 ;inpViewPanXAnalog = MouseAxisX ;inpViewPanYAnalog = MouseAxisY inpViewShiftUp = Bounce Control Numpad7 inpViewShiftDown = Bounce Control Numpad1 inpViewShiftLeft = Bounce Control Numpad4 inpViewShiftRight = Bounce Control Numpad6 inpViewShiftAft = Bounce Control Numpad8 inpViewShiftFore = Bounce Control Numpad2 inpViewZoomIn = Bounce LeftBracket inpViewZoomOut = Bounce RightBracket inpViewCenter = Shift Numpad5 the firstline regarding the POV lets me pan around when in or out or the cockpit, but it springs back to center once I let go of the button... I think I'll have a go at setting one of them to pan and not centre... that might be interesting and a lil easier to use is watching a specific area while flying.. IP: Logged
Mirthain Pilot	posted 03-05- 05:57 PM My settings are exactly the same. On my stick, the POV hat (Usually hat 1 on most sticks) does snap views. I am not able to program the stick directly. No software setups on this stick. so any changes I make have to be done through the Keyboard.inp file. My question is, what are the allowable uses of the JoystickPOV in the Keyboard.inp file? What commands or INP lines can it work with? Can the actual POV settings be modified from the original? This will probably only be solved by an OPP's or Parsoft person... ;} Mirthain=FC= IP: Logged
Nat Pilot	posted 03-06- 05:07 AM well, I messed some more with the settings, and got the PV to pan round the cockpit view, problem was it messed up alot of other keys strokes, almost as if the shift key was permantly bound to the POV.. I'll be messin with it more, so if I find anything that might help I'll drop you a line Mirth IP: Logged

PooBah Cadet	posted 10-30- 07:28 PM Mirth I recently picked up the game and am experiencing the same problem with my CH CombatStick. Were you ever able to solve the problem? PooBah IP: Logged
casualty26ac Cadet	posted 10-31- 02:04 PM A friend of mine has the same problem and he will not play it without a panning hat. He has a MS 3-d pro, which I know nothing about and I had to set my stick t do it with the software that came with it. Anyone have pan working with the 3-d pro stick? IP: Logged
