Use joystick axis only when key pressed

[Stu Antonio]

Hi,

is it possible to set a joystick axis in a way that it will only work if a certain key is pressed at the same time? 

For instance, use the joystick x-axis as "steering set" but only when I press (and hold) the ctrl key at the same time.

 

Thanks for any advice!

There is offset 0x32F8 which can be used to inhibit certain operations, and offsets 0x310A and 0x341A to disconnect main and auxiliary axis, but none of these will help with a steering axis.

If you want to do this, you would have to write a lua script to handle your steering axis. If you did this, you could then monitor for a ctrl key press to stop sending the steering controls when received, and continue when released.
