I think that mmjoy, which you point out, or FreeJoy, which I just saw here on the forum, are good evidence that this general approach is well established. They both seem good for big projects where you might have a lot of controls to keep straight. Once you wanted more than a couple of controls, my approach would start becoming a PITA and using these frameworks would be better. More importantly, you should not have to maintain code. Most signal transformations won't need unexpected code.

Hello flyers. I roll with just a 360 controller but managing a throttle with it isn't very pleasing and after this many landings at incorrect speeds I am in great arrears on account of all the burning wrecks littering the airfield. So, I wanted to drive throttle with one or two sliders (I'm lounging inside an A-10 usually) or perhaps a rocker pedal. After looking at what DCS-BIOS affords I get the impression that what it relies on is focused on inputs for instrumentation and specifically does not include inputs for control surfaces or engine control. Is this correct? I took a different approach, that of making an Arduino microcontroller masquerade as an XInput device, which is well documented. Attaching a potentiometer, mapping voltage to a stick in C and mapping the stick to the throttle in World works nicely (apart from some axis wraparound that is surely fixable). Was this the most expedient approach or did I make this overly complicated?
