WideFS Joystick axis


Recommended Posts

Pete:

Windows XP / FSX / Registered FSUIPC / WideFS

I am having a problem trying to use a USB Joystick axis from the client pc.

From FS machine, Using the Buttons+Switches menu, I can see and assign joystick buttons from the remote client, however I cannot get it to recognize any axis (from axis Assignments) I have calibrated the joystick with Windows Game Controller on the client PC. I checked the logs and I can see the button scan and send from the client and the server receives it (this is confirmed by the Menu on FS showing button 5 from joystick 2000 (1st client) However I don't see any traffic for Axis. Am I missing something in doc, or are joystick axis on remote clients not supported ? (only buttons )

Joystick axes have never been supported through WideFS. Where did you get an idea they were?

I really don't think it is worthwhile. For flight controls the latency is just too annoying. It is always far better to connect axes direct to the FS PC. There is nothing at all to be gained from client axes.
