Request Fly by wire for special functions

[HAL9001]

Well I aready posted it at a comment at fly-by-wire, but it isn't responsed so I'll post it hear now, were is at a better place for this, i think:


"could it be possible to make a version [of fly-by-wire] were i can stear the features to (gear, Bays...), too?
Just to say that an Joystick Axe/button schould work as a button on the keyboard, while orbiter is running.
for examople to use the fire-button as killrot."

Rebburne is no longer developing FBW. Try Joy2Key.

I would recommend Joy2Key, as Fly by wire is no longer being developed :thumbup:

EDIT: Whoops! Didn't notice the post above me!

I can't think of any joystick worth its salt nowadays that wouldn't come with its own keymapping software...

What kind of stick are you having?

i have a side project called "FlightControls" which enables you to use most features that are exposed by directinput.... but it's not complete yet... so it doesn't recognize any buttons :shifty:

i'd go with Joy2Key - it's a very nice tool to have :thumbup:

but were it's to find?
I don't find it in the hangar and if I search in the internet, I only find threas in diffferent forums about orbiter, where is the same question, wich I asked, too.

I am doing just that, with a programmable joystick. 6 buttons plus cap not being enough, I set the trigger button as a "Shift", resulting in additional 5+6 assignable buttons. (6 of them on the 6-way cap in button mode). All for approximately $35.
