You've been a ton of help on many fronts, thanks to your videos! Too bad Virpil Software doesn't include MACROS - but they don't really need to with JG out there!
Is it possible to use an actual rotary on your controller to send keys when it's turned one way, and other keys when it's turned the other way? I used to do this with the Saitek Profiler software. I would like to use it for the A10c, but ED has not put any rotaries in the Controls for Axes. And there a tons of rotaries in the A10c. I have two on my WinWing Throttle Panel that are useless in several aircraft.
With virpil, a rotary fires one button when clicked clockwise and when clicked anti-clockwise a different button gets fired, very easy to bind that to a game or use joystick gremlin to do stuff with it. Dunno about winwing stuff, how they implemented it
@@HavocCompanyClan On the WinWing Throttle they are just rotaries, like on the X55 Throttle. This was easy to do on the X55 with their software. It was called a Directional Axis and sent different keystrokes depending on which direction the axis was moving.
@@HavocCompanyClan It's a potentiometer. The knob spins about 90% from off to Bright, then back. It is intended as a Brightness dial for the DCS FA-18.
@@HavocCompanyClan Hey, I got it working!! Yesterday I found a Plugin called AxisToTicks.py and it just wouldn't work. But for some reason it is working perfectly today!! Thanks for your help!! ** BTW, is there a place where people upload and share their JG Plugins? All I could find was a few where people had just posted on different forums a plugin they made.
Hey thanks for the tutorials! Very helpful. Question for you. I have the T-50CM2 throttle and I would like to setup a macro so that when I press one of the square colored LED buttons it initiates a series of button presses that does something like “request docking” in Elite Dangerous for example. This involves navigating a couple different menu screens and selecting the correct options. I once set this series of button presses up for my Elgato stream deck. Would this be a similar process? Thank you again!
I mean this is pretty cool and all ... but couldn't you just bind the bind that is tied with the encoder rotary with bind itself within DCS for each module so you can use that mode selector as like 5 extra buttons which will basically give you options to set something like different hud modes or INS mode selector or something more useful?
@@HavocCompanyClan If I'm getting this right, in Virpil software mode switch applies only to 8 buttons next to it (6 on CM2 version), while in Gremlin mode switch applies to every single button, axis, encoder on all the devices you have connected to your computer?
@@admiki9808 Yes by default only B buttons are effected by mode rotary on virpil throttle, JG allows this rotary to control ALL joystick devices connected to your PC
Great work ! Any chance you could give advice on setting the Delta's scroll wheel as a slider. I see no fix on the forums and cant seem to get it to work.
Allan, sadly I do not own a delta (it would be nice if Virpil lent me some free kit for a while to create more videos with - I would return it) , but by best guess to make it work right (as a thrust controller?) I think you would have to bind a button to Axis (3 button type) to the 3 functions of the wheel, forward to increase , press to reset axis , back to decrease , then in the game use this new axis as your thrust control see here ua-cam.com/video/ZCzzhtrTDUY/v-deo.html
Total Noob here. I am watching your tutorials but with respect to joystick gremlin. You are using this in place of the Virpil software? To use in game, you start computer, start joystick gremlin then DCS or is it all automatic once it is set up? Thanks for taking the time to go over this.
I am using the virpil software when I need to update firmware or configure something that only it can do. I am using JG , to make flying earier by binding common key presses to specific button
Thank you for this and your other VPC config guides. I never realised so much was possible!
I wish I still never knew.....

@@MrSnacko is it a rotary you are talking about that has a finite amount of positions? or an encoder ?

Thank you again!
macro is just a sequence of button presses (along with timing info), should be doable
is there a possbility to work around with ffe or ifr force feedback effects with the macros in gremlin if vjoy does accept it?
dont own a force feedback device so no way of telling
Wooow!! So you control de amount of displacement but not the velocity of that amount?

5 extra buttons Vs 50+ buttons x 5 profiles (one for each aircraft) think my way is more flexible / useful
