Idea

Hello,

just bringing this up again as it would be nice to have a heads-up on where we stand...

Have you checked if this is available via Coherent / JS? if it is, perhaps then you can control this via a tablet EFB or HTML gauge of some sort..

R.

Sorry, Raul, you mean the JoystickInfo through Coherent/JS? How would that assist our WASM gauges?

Hi @simfan,

There is no plan to provide something similar to SimConnect_RequestJoystickDeviceInfo at the moment. Can you elaborate on what you are trying to achieve?

Best regards,

Hi @EPellissier ,

in the other "Joystick Info" thread, the discussion proved that the existing Joystick Input sample was pretty much useless because there is no way of knowing which number corresponds to which joystick, should the user have more than a single joystick connected. (In fact, there's no knowledge at all, in code, of how many joysticks are connected at all).

For example, if you have a flight stick and rudder pedals and you try to map an input event to a button click event (as per the joystick input sample), you have no idea what you're connecting to what, as the "joystick:<num>:<button>" is pretty much meaningless without information on the existing list of devices connected. (how do you know what the <num> corresponds to?)

A list of connected devices returned, along with their GUIDs (or HIDs) as per the XML files found in the Input folder would be tremendously helpful to match apples to apples.

Hi again,

We will see what can be done about this - it is unlikely that we will have news on this topic for SU12 though.

Best regards,

Eric / Asobo
