Shkval movement is too "stubborn".

[sobek]

Why not use a third party joystick mapping tool?

 

Because i could not get the ones i tried to work. I'm open to suggestions though :)

[ACUTech]

Indeed, the Sidewinder software doesn't work under Vista...

[Bisch]

The first things I can think of:

 

Total Game Control

Pinnacle Game Proifler

http://www.pinnaclegameprofiler.com/

 

Perhaps even Joy2Key?

Probably some more show up in 2, 3 well done google searches for words like joystick emulation, joystick tool etc...

 

I don't know if those tools suit your needs and I only used joy2key myself in another context but perhaps these links contain something usefull for you... maybe just because they lead you to other tools.

 

 

Update:

Another Joy Tool I once used (for my PS2 Controller as Keyboardemulation)

After playing the game 20h+ I finally realized (with the help of previous posts) that holding ",+." on the keyboard moves the shkval diagonally..

 

So after binding the POV diagonal directions to the equivalent keyboard commands, I finally got diagonal slew to work! :thumbup:

 

(But still, the slew rate is much much slower than if one uses an axis instead, of course there is a trade off between speed and accuracy, but at least let the player choose that for them selves what speed etc. the "digital button" slew rate should have)

[Bushmanni]

I managed to make the axis-control for Shkval to work quite nicely after I noticed that shkval has a really big built in deadzone witch keeps messing the responsiveness. I created a custom response curve in axis tuner which offsets the deadzone and after that I was able to control the camera just as easily as with digital commands but with the additional benefits of analog control and speed.

 

Here are my curve settings:

5

6

7

8

9

10

11

12

22

100

 

It's not yet perfect but will get you started. Hope this helps. I wish ED would remove the deadzone from Shkval axis controls.

[Boberro]

I wonder why ED has removed Shkval as mouse control as it is in LO....

[Frederf]

2. Remove the acceleration that increases the speed of the slew the longer you hold the button. (Full speed directly is preferred, and if you want to go slower there is a button for that in the cockpit)

 

There is no such button. I think there is a LUA edit that controls the acceleration value.

 

You could also assign a modifier + a mouse axis to the shkval absolute axes.

 

No you can't. Only joystick axes can be assigned to Shkval absolute and the mouse isn't considered a joystick axes set.
