joystick emulation - stuck axes and buttons

Post by siliconsmoke »

Hello,

I have an issue when moving the puck so the joystick axis output value hits the min or max of its range, the value then gets stuck at the min or max value for about 1s. The delay is also visible in the 3DxService.log file.

Code: Select all

// going under the X axis min range
00000020 17:54:52.674: KMJTrans:UdTransSendEvent: KMJEvent.type=5, origActionID=HIDMultiAxis_X, origValue=-118

Is this intentional for some reason and if so is there a way to turn it off with some xml switch? It makes me overshoot when playing some space sim games.

The other issue is with the joystick buttons, when pressing and releasing multiple at once, all but the last one relased are still registered as being pressed. Pressing each of the stuck buttons individually fixes their state.
I can see in the log that the button events from the SpaceMouse pro are correct but the SendJoystickEvents are not.

Here is na excerpt from the log, keypresses are
[press 1][release 1][press 2][release 2][press 1][press 2][release 2][release 1][press 1][release 1][press 2][release 2]

I know the buttons can be mapped to keyboard but more buttons are more buttons :)

The entire log is attached,
the rundll32.exe is "Set up USB game controllers" utility for calibrating and viewing game controller inputs

software versions:
3DxWare 10.6.3
3DxWinCore 17.6.3.16588

Device: SpaceMouse pro, FW:4.36

Thanks!
