fitness88 Posted June 29, 2018 Posted June 29, 2018 There are a maximum of 8 different DX axis that can be used. What happens if you need more than 8 to run your devices. Can more than one command from your axis control page use the same DX axis without conflict if they are mapped to different plane functions?
dburne Posted June 29, 2018 Posted June 29, 2018 Yeah between my current gear I have 15 axis no problem. Virpil stick, Warthog Throttle, CH Throttle Quadrant, Crosswind Pedals.

fitness88 Posted June 30, 2018 Author Posted June 30, 2018 The 8 axes limit is per device. Thanks for that clarification! So each device with a limit of 8 axis can't use 2 of the same axis in the one device? For example, could a throttle and slider on the throttle use the same DX axis.

fitness88 Posted June 30, 2018 Author Posted June 30, 2018 dburne, you once mentioned a long time ago that you were able to map your j-stick mouse to move the game pointing cross...how did you do that?

Hmm not sure about that. I typically use either my mouse, or my head (VR) to move the cursor. I do have mouse left click assigned to a button on my throttle.

I do have mouse left click assigned to a button on my throttle. I find the HMD more difficult than the mouse to point with so using the mouse I may as well use its buttons.
fitness88 Posted July 2, 2018 Author Posted July 2, 2018 (edited) Any recommendations for a good throttle and j-stick even a mixture, don't like pedals so twist stick important? I've checked out the Warthog but I didn't like the stiction when it came to small movements.
