Joystick Configuration

This page provides working examples of different joystick configurations, showing how each buton has been bound to operate a single Vega Strike function.

If a Joystick Configuration matches your joystick, you can edit copy the configuration here into your vegastrike config file.

JOYSTICK: bind

Sample

    <bind joystick="0" player="0" button="0" modifier="none" command="FireKey" />

Description

  • joystick - number of the joystick
  • player- for which player is the command secified? ?how this is right?
  • button - number of the button on the joystick
  • modifier - ? no clue ?
  • command - specify the command to start when the button is pressed here. See Keyboard layout for description.

JOYSTICK: axis

Sample

    <axis name="x" joystick="0" axis="0" inverse="false" />

Description

  • name - name of the axis (in the game) to bind (x,y,z,throttle)
  • joystick - number of the joystick
  • axis - number of axis of the joystick
  • inverse - set to "true" if you want to inverse the axis direction else set to "false".

ANALOG COOLIHAT/HATSWITCH

forum link 1

Sample

<axis name="hatswitch" nr="0" margin="0.15" joystick="1" axis="2">
  <hatswitch value="-1.0"/>
  <hatswitch value="-0.6"/>
  <hatswitch value="-0.19"/>
  <hatswitch value="0.1"/>
</axis>

<bind hatswitch="0" button="0" modifier="none" command="ABKey" />
<bind hatswitch="0" button="1" modifier="none" command="AccelKey" />
<bind hatswitch="0" button="2" modifier="none" command="DecelKey" />
<bind hatswitch="0" button="3" modifier="none" command="StopKey" />

FIXME Is this really how it works? For me it binds the NORMAL BUTTON-0 to the ABKey and not the 'virtual' one of the hatswitch/throttle. But that's what is in the vegastrike.config file :-/

Description

DIGITAL COOLIHAT/HATSWITCH

forum link

Sample

    <bind joystick="0" digital-hatswitch="0" direction="up" command="ABKey"/>

Description

  • joystick - number of the joystick
  • digital-hatswitch - number of dig. hatswitch
  • direction - direction(button) of dig. hatswitch (left,right,up,?back?,center)
  • command - specify the command to start when the button is pressed here. See Keyboard layout for description.

Joystick Examples

Please insert your working configs here

Microsoft SideWinder Force Feedback Pro

(may work for other sidewinder-joysticks as well)

Add the joystick-name to the dropdown menu

add joy_ffp to the line

#cat Joystick no_joy joy_normal joy_throttle joy_axis joy_throttle_and_axis joy_t_a_rev

like this

#cat Joystick no_joy joy_normal joy_throttle joy_axis joy_throttle_and_axis joy_t_a_rev joy_ffp

Add the description text

#desc joy_ffp Microsoft SideWinder Force Feedback Pro

Make the joystick the current one

edit the #set Joystick xxxx line to

#set Joystick joy_ffp

Binding code

Place the code below above the </bindings> line in the vegastrike.config file.

FIXME Attention: This bindings may not work under linux ... at least it doesn't for me since i switched. Help is always welcome.

USB Saitek X45

4-axis/7-button/4-hatswitch/2 rotary control, 2 mode switch (M1,M2,M3 and AUX0-1) stick/flight control system.

3 of the 4 hatswitches could be called like buttons. So I configured them for Cockpit Display and Weapon Selection. Until now the 2 rotary controls are unused. The mode switches are configured for SPEC/cloak.
