Discovery Scanner - 23/05/2022

What is the 32 button limit and how does one reach it?
It is a physical number of buttons... Rather than combinations. I now use Virpil HOTAS and the throttle has lots of buttons!

The limit in ED is 32 per device, (it is an old configuration) so currently the Virpil configuration software has split the throttle into 3 devices. So button Joy4 may refer to either of the button banks.

Other software has the same limitation, including X4, whereas more recent software supports up to 128 buttons per device. (As does Windows)

Ahh, thanks. That throttle looks awesome btw. Good that there's a workaround, though hopefully there will be a fix at some point.
 
Greetings Commanders!

You may be wondering why the Discovery Scanner is being posted to the website instead of the forums - let's talk about it!

There are a number of reasons why, those being:

  • It's much easier to manage from a single location.
  • It looks much nicer displayed on our website!
  • We want more of you to discover the community section of our website, including the Event Calendar!
  • It helps us with translation so that we can reach more Commanders with the post.

You can of course continue to discuss the post as normal in the thread below!
I'll just give a cynical "hmmm.. " 🤔
