Keyboard and HOTAS Reference Sheet Generator

I'm meanwhile using a Tobii EyeX for looking around, which isn't yet supported. Reference is lyiote.

I'm afraid that there isn't a lot that I can do with this, especially because it uses the generic vJoy interface. I've filtered this out so that it doesn't cause the warning.
 
Hello

This is a great tool. Thank you.

As per instruction from the tool, I have an unsupported device. The details are:
Device type: EDTracker Pro
Reference: jfaobc

Thanks.

I just recently finally got around to using this tool, (for disaster recovery mostly) and I found it's also a pretty cool troubleshooting tool to boot!

The results told me I had not mapped my lateral thrust to an axis, but rather to digital twist (X-52 pro twist)

Aha! re-mapped them and I am enjoying much finer control over landing pads, thank you very much. =)

Thanks for reporting this; I've added it to the list of non-HOTAS devices so it shouldn't show up as unsupported in future.
 
Hi, Great Tool!
and as asked in your link, I have an Unsupported HOTAS and are reporting
Device: X-65F Pro Flight Saitek HOTAS
Ref: "iojkek"

Thanks
 
I got this when I run it.

You have one or more analogue controls configured incorrectly. Please see this thread for details of the problem and how to correct it.
Your misconfigured controls: Steer left , Steer right, Yaw left, Yaw right


Why are they misconfigured. The controls work for me? Am I missing somethinf simple here? What should I change?

Did you read the details in the thread linked in the message? It explains the problem and how to fix it.
 
I am really new to Elite and have just got the brand new Saitek X-56 HOTAS. Just configuring the setup now and was wondering if you will add the X56 to your list of supported devices?

I think that the utility that you have created is great and it would be really helpful to have a 'cheat sheet' with all the bindings on as there are so many!!

Never owned a HOTAS before, the X56 is my first one, so nothing to compare it to, but I am very impressed so far!

Unfortunately I don't have any details on the X-56. It looks pretty similar to the X-55. Do the two mini-joysticks (the ones where your thumb naturally rest) depress?

The way that adding support works is that I build out an initial template then people supply their bindings and manually-filled-out forms until I have enough info to code it up automatically. Would you be interested in doing this?

Yes, both thumb sticks are also buttons. They still refer to the thumb-stick on the throttle as "mouse" in the software but it is seem by Elite as two axes.

I've attached my (work in progress) key binding file for you to look at.

I would love to help if I can, just need to get up to speed with things having never used a HOTAS before!

As already answered by another Commander, the mini-analogue joysticks do have button presses.

I have put together a template for the throttle that shows how Elite recognises each button press on the throttle controller. If this is helpful, I will do the same for the joystick. Please see attached PDF.
I haven't figured out the SLD (slider) switch yet, doesn't recongnise it in Elite as far as I can tell at the moment. Also have not figured out the Mode Switch yet either. Got lots to learn!
I am interested in finding out how others have made their default mappings as a starting point and whether it is useful to have flight landing overrides.

Thanks for sharing this. As I am completely new to using a HOTAS, it will be really helpful to get a good reference point for all those bindings to build on - how do you remember them all !!

On the throttle unit I use a label writer to create sticky labels for the switches. :)
 
Any chance of open-sourcing this tool so we can try to add support for our own joysticks? I know various people have requested X45 support..

This is just what I need to start with. Please could you do similar for the stick, and also provide a sample binds file reference from this tool? That should give me enough to provide initial X-56 support. Thanks.
 
Yes, the Warthog is probably the most popular controller that isn't supported at the moment. It's a bit gruelling due to having quite so many switches, but I'll try to put a template together in the next few days and see if the community can put together a mapping for it.

It looks really damn useful. I'd like to see the following supported as well

Thrustmaster Warthog
Thrustaster Warthog Combined (ie, the virtual controller from TARGET).

There is a mapping and pdf documents provided on the Thrustmaster Warthog site accessible via the T.A.R.G.E.T software on its main page under downloads then select your device(s) etc. and down load all that you need including Pdf files etc. Elite Dangerous Warthog.fcf TARGET_User_Manual_ENG.pdf also use the "How do I?" options in the T.A.R.G.E.T software you can get images of all buttons to print out i.e. HOTAS Warthog Joystick and Throttle Buttons Names. When you get to the site via their inbuilt software link follow the option selection through to the last one select game settings then on that page you will see a file HWarthog_Elite_Dangerous it is a zip file about 1.08MB that will contain other info and a pre-set which you can later tweak to your on preferences.
