Joystick button to keypress conversion?

Featured Replies

I know the latest versions of FSUIPC can convert a button press to key press on the FS computer. Problem is I am using Advanced Voice Client on a second computer with Squawkbox to fly online. I have an intercom system with push-to-talk switch just like a real aircraft. This worked well with Roger Wilco because it supported voice-activation, which only kicked in when I actually had the PTT button pressed. AVC does not support voice activation and that is probably a good thing for most people flying online. I've decided I could rewire the PTT switch to a USB joystick button but AVC does not even support button presses - only key presses. Bottomline - I really need a little app that can convert a joystick button press to a keypress. Any suggestions out there? Thanks!!David

Hi,If you have a registered version, the FSUIPC allows you to program the joystick buttons. I had prepaired a text to demonstrate this: "Do more with your joystick", but I haven't had time to finish it. However you can download the incomplete version of the text here:http://users.telenet.be/desi-iii/FSUIPCbuttons.doc It explains how you can program 24 or even 48 commands on an eight button joystick.Regards,Hugo

Hi Hugo,Thanks for the reply. I do have a registered version but the problem is this joystick would be hooked to a different computer than my FS computer. I run Squawkbox and AVC on a second computer via WideFS. I don't know that it could pass the keypress to the second computer.David

Good question, David! I'd like to get the answer for it too.
