  • Hi Steve I noticed there is a new version. Does it include the virtual hardware builder? I am interested in using the tool for DCS. Thanks Terry

  • Hi Steve It is now next year. Any update on the Virtual Hardware Builder and generic gaming solution? Thanks Terry

  • Thanks Steve. I will look for it in the install directory.

  • Hi Steve No need to check. I just set one up for 128 and even though windows only sees 32, GFIT see all 128.So all issues resolved!! ThanksTerry
  • Hi Steve I just ran some tests and that is the case. If you setup a Vjoy without any axis it will not be detected by GFIT. What I don't understand is how my Thrustmaster MFD and my Button Box devices, neither of which have axis, are detected without problem. I wonder if you hard coded those? Now that I have a consistent…
  • Hi Steve I am showing same version and date.I uninstalled rebooted and reinstalled Vjoy and it showed up in log as you had. I added another Vjoy device and GFIT only showed one? In windows when you add two they both appear in game controller with the same name. In P3D they are Vjoy 1 and Vjoy 2? I then tried to delete one…
  • Hi SteveThat is it? So you see a Vjoy joystick in the drop down lists after enabling joysticks in GFIT? I downloaded the file vjoySetup.exe and I did not download the sdk. After install I used configure Vjoy to enable it and setup one virtual stick. I see the stick in windows but it does not show in the GFIT device drop…
  • Hi Steve I think that may have been more to do with a user problem than GFIT? Do you have an example of a device that causes problems? I would like to play around with it. ThanksTerry
  • Hi Steve Something wired going on with posting from my iPad again?I think the Vjoy is available for a trial. Could you install it and see if your setup sees it? In the post above that got cut off I was saying that I think the joystick recognition part of GFIT should pickup any device recognized by windows in the game…
  • No it doesn't work in win 7 either. I think GFIT should pickup all game controller recognized by Windows
  • Hello Steve

Any luck?

Thanks
Terry
  • Hi Steve This is all there is in the log "Supp Device Found: vJoy Device" It is recognized in the windows game controller window and by P3D? ThanksTerry
  • Hi Steve

Any luck on the Vjoy issue?

Thanks
Terry
  • Hi Steve

I missed this point 

When you hit the calibrate button the axis limits are recorded

I thought you could change them after the calibration. They a working as they should now. Not one of my better days.

Terry
  • H Steve So to keep the throttles in synch, I should manually edit those values to the same? In the gui if I manually change one it also chanes the other so you cannot get them to be the same? From the log Supp Device Found: vJoy Device ThanksTerry
  • The limit values are changing even if you do not click on calibrate?
  • Hi Steve

As a follow up I have not been able to consistently recreate the problem so I suggest you don't spend any more time on it until it happens enough to recreate.

I did see another issue that is happening every time. The warthog Throttle has two Throttle levers that I am assigning to set Throttle…
  • Hi Steve

I tried that and everything worked the first time as before. I cleared the axis and it continued to work but I clicked the calibrate button again because the two throttles were not in sync and it quit working again. I had also calibrated a couple of times yesterday so maybe it was the recalibration that…
  • Hi Steve

I tried it and it worked great on first try but I cleared an axis and after that the axis no longer responded even after a restart. Related maybe is that when I clicked clear axis another axis configure window opened so then I had two open. That did not used to happen.

Also could not see my Vjoy…
  • Hello Steve

Is this still on the list to be fixed?

Thanks
Terry
  • Hi Steve

Any revision?

Thanks
Terry
  • Hi Steve

Any progress on the joystick fix.

Thanks
Terry
  • As an update to the above post, I was incorrect that that I was running on the same GFIT version on both the win7 and win 10 machines. I thought I had updated the win7 to the latest but I was running ver 2.4.1. I uninstalled 2.5.5 version from the win 10 pc and installed 2.4.1 and the joysticks are working…
  • Just had a chance to try and these cured my lockups as well. 

Thanks
Terry
  • Hello Steve

Rob said it perfectly. Please get well soon.

Thank you for all your effort?
Terry
  • No not at all. 
Terry
  • Hello Rob

After I posted how stable my go-flights have been, a couple dropped out today. It took two or three unplug plug reboot cycles to get them back. I am with you, it is not the hubs it is in the units themselves. I am also using a pice card and have tried many different hubs.

Terry
  • I had extreme issues with getting all my goflight modules to consistently come on. I bought all kinds of hubs cables trying to solve. Then one day (knock on wood) the problem went away and they have been stable since? That is why I haven't tried the disconnect MESM solution to the 2.26 issue plus the fact that I have zero…
