viper3two Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Hi Just downloaded BS and loving every minute of it. I am a FT user, and saw where somebody got it working in BS using PPJoy. So I installed PPJoy, setup a default joystick 6 axis according to the PPJoy english manual. I am stuck now trying to get BS to see FT. Could somebody lead me in the right direction? What settings do you use in FT and also what settings do you use in BS to see the PPJoy? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sobek Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 (edited) You have to enable ppjoy output mode in the output window of free track. You then have to map the axes correctly in the black shark axes controls window. if you mapped the axes correctly in ppjoy, your translation axes will be the joy x/y/z axes and the rotation axes will be the joy RX/RY/RZ axes. You might have to invert some axes in black shark. If you are having offset problems with ppjoy, try setting a custom center point in free track by centering your view and then pressing the custom center button. You can then center freetrack like you are used to and it will return to that custom center. Edited December 14, 2008 by sobek Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa!

viper3two Posted December 14, 2008 Author Share Posted December 14, 2008 Well....still no joy...... I have PPJoy setup according to the manual included with FT. I have FT fired up, it detects BS. I have the output on FT only as PPJoy, controller one. In BS, I have absolute horizontal view=JoyX absolute vertical view=JoyY Horizontal shift Camera view=Joy RZ Lognitudinal shift Camera view=Joy RX Absolute Roll Shift=JoyZ Absolute Vertical Shift=Slider1 Still will not work at all, no movement in BS. Other sims work just fine so I don't think its a FT issue. I have FT 2.2 What am I missing? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
