POV Hat Switch settings

[An-Ping, Gu]

Hi Virtualhost:

Thanks for your hard-work, I've used virtual controller to remap the buttons of my old flight joystick without build-in re-mapper. It works excellently with Autohotkey.

The only problem I've encountered is the setting of POV. Before using virtual controller, I can control my view by using corresponding POV directions. When I release the POV hat, the view would fix at the angle where I want there.
Since the POV worked fine with my flight sims, I didn't remap it with autohotkey. I configured the POVs via virtual controller to the VJOY with discrete POV or continuous POV, by "set neutral" modifier when I release my POV hat switches.

When I do so in the games I've tested with the VJOY POV hat, my view will not fix at the direction I want to. My view will always go back to neutral position. I've tried the increase, decrease modifiers, but the POV will not stop moving when I do so.

Any suggestions?

Best regards,

May help:
1) You can try use "quick mode" to setup vJoy controls.
2) You can try add binds like "POV to vJoy POV" (POV Up => vJoy CPOV 0; POV Down => vJoy CPOV 18000; POV Release => vJoy CPOV -1).
3) You can test vJoy POV in "joy.cpl" (in cmd write joy.cpl and press enter).

Currently, I work on update where you can more easy to setup controls. But it need time for new ideas and tests, since most code need be rewritten.

Hi Virtual:

I've done some parameter test about POV. In the end I found that in some
games, my original setting, which is the same with the setup via "quick
mode" would work perfectly.

For the game, which I reported previously (Rowan's Mig Alley, using Windows
10 X64 via DXWnd), no matter how hard I tried, the view is still set to
neutral while I release the POV hat. I don't know the reasons behind, since
before remap to the Vjoy, the POV hat of my original joystick worked
fine... Sorry I can't report more detail about it, since I have no
knowledges about how joystick works in windows.

Hope it helps for your future development. Virtual controller is a really
good tool for an old school flight sim lover with an old joystick like me.
I will test it on more games (Rowan's Battle of Britain, and may be those
older ones with Dosbox.)

Best wishes!

Probably previous, I don't correct understood your goal.

I thinked you need "classic" POV (in my way of think):
POV UP = vJoy POV UP;
POV UP Release = vJoy POV UP Release;
...
POV Release = vJoy POV Release.

But probably you need next:
POV UP = vJoy CPOV 0;
POV UP+RIGHT = vJoy CPOV 4500;
POV RIGHT = vJoy CPOV 9000;
...
Without any "release" bind.

Try to test it in game and "joy.cpl".
