Gamepad speed control with trigger #26

Hi,

While using ddraw.dll for older games xwing, tie fighter & x-wing vs tie-fighter, the ability of using gamepad triggers as throttle axis is lost. I mean, there is an optional throttle implementation in the new config file but it is not working as the original game file i.e. pressing right trigger increase power while pressing left trigger decrease power. Is it possible to put this setting as an option?

Are you sure about X-Wing vs. TIE? I don't remember how that one should behave. For X-Wing, the game simply has no support for the joystick throttle, the mapping in the DLL is working fine (as far as I know) but it doesn't help because the game simply does not support a throttle axis. To put it differently, all the DLL can do is make it work as well as a joystick would. There probably are gamepad-to-keyboard mapping tools that can do something, but note that the older games only had 4 different throttle settings, so it's not going to work great either way.

I managed to fix this by disabling joystick emulation and using original games joystick settings.
