#hotas — Public Fediverse posts

Found a photogrammetry 'scan' of an earring someone uploaded. Edited it in blender, 3d printed twice, and I have dual throttle slider knobs for my #hotas joysticks project. Some rough edges still need cleaning up so don't zoom in too much. Also removed the springs and added friction to the left stick Y axis so I can release it and it stays in place.

Since the X56 stick from our #HOTAS setup finally went to the big bit bucket in the sky (o7) and Mini doesn’t have any money for a modern replacement, modern problems require 2003 solutions! Pulling the #Logitech Extreme 3D Pro #joystick out of retirement~ #OldHardwareIsBestHardware #Hardware

I'm now ~35h in the early access of #Subnautica2. At this point I finished the available content once and naturally started to fool around. What do you mean I can't control my sub like one of my space pew pew fighters? Make me! And yes there is a deeper sense in this - this is me learning to control the sub with my X52 Pro #HOTAS - that is my story and I'm sticking to it 😛

Okay, the Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS Throttle doesn't seem to work like I want with my combination of Mech Game and Linux...

...but it *does* make a stupidly expensive busybox, so really, why am I returning it? I could click these switches all day!

Der erste Erfolg im Urlaub ist geglückt. 😀👍

Nachdem ich den Schubregler meines #Thrustmaster T16000M FCS Hotas aufgeschraubt und die Potentiometer des Mini-Joysticks mit Isopropanol gereinigt habe, ist die störende Drift nach unten weg.

Eine ausgiebiger Test mit einer #EliteDangerous Session lief sehr zufriedenstellend. 😊

Looks like #ProjectWingman has a broken Input.ini parser …

Looks like #ProjectWingman has a broken Input.ini parser resulting in my #HOTAS mappings to be gone on restart. The problem is that some special characters, like a comma, break the INI format used by their controls implementation [/Script/Engine.InputSettings].

Have an example what the game writes to AppData/Local/ProjectWingman/Saved/Config/WindowsNoEditor/Input.ini


AxisMappings=(AxisName="Pitch Axis",Scale=-1.000000,Key=Joystick_ThrustMaster,IncF-16FlightControlSystem_2_Axis1)

The name for the key is something homebrew the game produces based on the controller type (Joystick_ or Gamepad_) and the HID device descriptor name. This example mapped fine ingame but breaks on reload of the game resulting in only ThrustMaster for each mapped control – and that joystick can not be found, of course.

The “fix” is to manually edit the file and add quotation marks for the key:

AxisMappings=(AxisName="Pitch Axis",Scale=-1.000000,Key="Joystick_ThrustMaster,IncF-16FlightControlSystem_2_Axis1")

Now the game finds the proper joystick and all controls are mapped to something like ThrustMaster,IncF-16FlightControlSystem_2_Axis1 again, as expected.

Needless to say that the file should probably be write protected after that – or at least saved again under a different name, because any change to the controls will overwrite this fix again. This problem does probably also happen with other special characters, like the © sign that some vendors are known to use.

Mission 01: Black Flag – Trying Project Wingman with my ViperPit

This is Project Wingman mission 01 Black Flag played on a Linux PC with Proton Experimental, OpenTrack with the Neuralnet Tracker plugin and my DIY HOTAS / rudder system based on Arduino Pro Micros replacing the original electronics in my Thrustmaster FLCS/Cougar gear:

Pick your poison: https://makertube.net/w/8MyoVSzDfwMuQR6bCqtbie / https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dq0sihlgW_Y

I got Project Wingman on a sale months ago and I finally gave it a try. As an Ace Combat player I felt right at home. My initial experiment was with the XR glasses and woah that feels good in 3D and all but today I remembered that old Plasma TV in the basement. Got it second hand a year ago for dead cheap. Today I brought it upstairs to try it with the ViperPit and now I’m not sure what’s more awesome.

Well, that is if I feel like burning ~470W on top for that thing but hey this is for very specific gaming sessions only anyway 🤷

Guess I’ll spend more time in the ViperPit again 😀
