Virpil support

[ddrake1984]

I noticed that supported joysticks doesnt include Virpil MongoosT-50

Any chance we can have this?

[mdjarv]

That is a beast of a stick

I've got a few other devices lined up for 3D modeling and those take a long time for me to produce so for now I suggest we wire it up using the Warthog joystick model.

Could you run JoystickProxy.exe from the latest release https://github.com/mdjarv/JoystickVisualizer/releases/tag/v0.11.3

Find and select your Virpil stick, move the stick fully top-left and screenshot the application and attach the image here

[ddrake1984]

Also, hope you can handle dual stick? notice the USB ID

[mdjarv]

Aah, unfortunately there's no support for two devices of the same USB ID at the moment... the current implementation can not handle it as the visualizer uses pre-made game objects and can't spawn new ones at this moment.

I'll look into adding the Mongoos using the Warthog model tomorrow if I can find the time

[mdjarv]

Sorry for the delay, I have been quite busy with real life stuff and this kind of slipped between my fingers.

I've added initial (untested) support for the T-50 in 0.11.7, try it and let me know how it goes. Download link can be found here: https://github.com/mdjarv/JoystickVisualizer/blob/master/README.md

Unfortunately I still do not have a solution for multiple sticks of the same type

I've done some work with unity and Blender 3D modelling. If you were keen, I could create an accurate 3D model of the T-50 (which I also use). Feel free to contact me if you think this might help, thanks.

@xXBoofleXx Help to make a proper model would be much appreciated, and I will of course credit you in the README.md just as I've done for the others that have helped out. 👍

.blend files work well and if you use the Blender Rederer the materials will import into Unity as well. I do however have a few points on my model-wishlist if you want to help out:

• [ ] Any individually moveable part needs to be a separate object in the model
• [ ] Model objects should be arranged in a proper hierarchy for example:

  Base -> Stick -> Button 1
             > Button 2
             > POV Hat

• [ ] Objects origin should be set so movement and rotations of the "active element" look correct (i.e. if I rotate the stick it should rotate around the gimbal center inside base and not the center of the handle)

Hope it makes sense, if all of these are done correctly it makes it much easier to add it to the Unity and future changes to the model will "just work" without any manual changes in the Unity project

Commenting on this issue works just fine, but if you want a more active discussion about the modelling or show some progress pictures you're more than welcome to join my Discord server as well: https://discord.gg/4nc3XtQ

Hey Mathias,

Roger to all of the above, sounds good man. I've already started, I'll swing by the discord at some stage fo shiz and let you know if I have any questions. Done a fair bit of game dev and model/texturing in Blender for Unity, that said everyone has a slightly different pipeline and way of doing things, so I'll definitely check with you. Thanks for the detailed email, helps me get sorted. I'll let you know how it progresses.

Cheers

-Nath

I managed to change the USB ID, but it still wont show the second device.

[mdjarv]

Unfortunately it's not that simple.

USB ID's have to be implemented in both the Proxy and the Visualizer so to make such a change requires a similar change in a Unity script as well as rebuilding the whole Unity application.

I did recently add the following for someone else with a similar setup:

03ef:2004 = VPC-Star-Citizen-L
03ec:2005 = VPC-Star-Citizen-R

perhaps you could change the USB ID of your device to match the VPC-Star-Citizen-L version above?

I have started planning for a more flexible implementation where every device-specific thing is pure configuration and easy to change and share, but that's still in its planning phase and quite a ways off

[ddrake1984]

yeh, I did this while I was waiting 03eb:2043 = Virpil Mongoos T-50-RH 02eb:2042 = Virpil Mongoos T-50-LH

it now shows up, in proxy, but not in visual.

[ddrake1984]

so.. we are getting closer.

[mdjarv]

Did you update to 0.11.13 or just change the settings.ini file?

https://github.com/mdjarv/JoystickVisualizer/releases/tag/v0.11.13

[ddrake1984]

oh, im on JoystickVisualizer-0.11.11

[ddrake1984]

also, please join HOTAS/HOSAS/SIMPIT discord https://discord.gg/e6XKrbK

[ddrake1984]

we have devs / vendors and joystick owners discussing all kinds of things there
