SVMapper

[Sokol1]

Has anyone tried the keymapper SVMapper in BoS?

 

 

SVMapper

 

For some reason don't work for me in Win7/64, even running "As administrator"... 

 

Work OK for DCS, e.g. JoyB1 = Ctrl+E repeat 3 times (bail out) or

CLoD, e.g. O, pause 5 ms, Ctrl+E (open canopy and bail out).

Find the "issue", in BoS is need set the "Continuous" field YES.

 

In the example bellow Joy button 1 is set to deal with start-up "bug"  - mixture lever goes back to zero if not set other position before, what kill the engine.

 

 

Press joy button 1 and hold some instants, release.  "On press" this will press 0 for increase the mixture adjust, on release press Alt+E for start the engine. In this way the startup is really in "one button". 

 

Obvious no reason for set this in Joy B1 (specially in 4 button joystick).

Since are some talk about this older keymapper - made for Mjoy8/16 in early il-2'2k1 days - as Joy2Key alternative and option for VKB Black Mamba Mk.III (until manual for his VKB Config is ready), some basics about SVMapper.

 

- Allow program joy buttons for send single key press - e.g. G, or modified key press, e.g. LAlt+G, LAlt+LCtrl+G or LAlt+LCtrl+LShift+G.

* Don't allow map axis for send keys press or modifier axis behavior e.g. cheater trim for all axis in any plane like TARGET, CH Manager or VKB Config, is just a "keymapper".

 

- Map key on button "press" (ON) and key on button "release" (OFF) - useful for toggle switches on Black Mamba Mk.III base, or some DIY "button box" with toggle switches.

 

- Allow set "repeat" for the keys press and set "delays".

 

- Allow load a different profile in button press or button release, allowing use "modes" or "shift/clutch" button.

 

In the example below a single 4 buttons+HAT joystick and rudder pedal was programmed in 3 profiles, named Joy1, Joy2, Joy3.

In profile Joy1, button 2 set mixture on "press" and start the engine on "release".

 

In profile Joy1 the trigger press Wheel brakes, in profile Joy2 the trigger became a "Shift" for button 3 be loading momentaneous on "press" the profile Joy3 wheres this button close the canopy, on "release" load the Joy2 again.

In this profile (Joy1 for ground/landing usage) the VKB T-rudder axis rudder press the keys LAlt+Space and RAlt+Space for brakes wheels individually (not needed due the differential brakes of the game - just to show the possibility).

Notice that keyboard layout is not "default", and joy buttons assignments done just for example, not that are practical or recommended.

 

In Profile Joy2 the button 2 pressed press F3, released press F1, so the "fly by" is seem when the button is hold.

Same for button 3 and F2 camera.

 

In profile Joy2 was set a repeat 999 and a delay 12 for button 2, that press V for drop full flaps just with one "click" on button 2.   

 

Joy button 4 change modes from Joy1 to Joy2 and from Joy2 to Joy1.

- To know that mode was changed the Scroll Lock key is pressed on button release, so his LED inform the change.

* Important synchronize the Scroll Lock LED status at start of mission.

For buttons assigned for change "mode"  or "shift/clutch" don't set the "continuous" field YES.

 

I am not able to map functions for POV HAT, maybe because was already mapped for camera in game controls. Don't try erasing "camera" and "pilot head" assignments due "laziness". 

 

In resume, the software is very simple to use, the GUI is just a text table, don't require install on Windows.

Just extract the file for some folder, create a shortcut for the .exe and set run "As administrator" - or Windows UAC maybe prevent the key press be sent for games.

SVMapper can be started after the game start (using Alt+Tab) and configured/modified "on the fly" - notice in the pictures the GUI over the game for make changes.

 

Occupies ~10kb of memory and is barely noticed by CPU (some "famous" joy software can occupies ~60MB).  

 

SVMapper GUI don't have option for clear the field key assignment, but be setting the "repeat" field in 0 and saving the profile the key assigned is erased.

So, with this SVMapper software, I am finding it difficult to program shift key functions properly to my VKB stick. Even when I set the delay to some huge value, the game still sees only one keypress (e.g., Left Shift + G is seen by the game as just G). Any solutions to this?

[Sokol1]

In this way work OK there - no VKB stick.

 

 

But, why not use VKB Config software instead?

Victor_US in VKB forum can help to start learn.

 

They say that this soft is more powerful than TARGET in graphical mode.

BoS works strangely with modifiers. For example. I've mapped a button to Shift+a (I use VKBDevConfig.exe for Njoy32). In BoS Settings - Key Mapping I select function and press this button. I see a!!! Press Retry button (keep button pressed) and see my Shift+a(((

If I press this button in MS Word I see A (shift+a). Event Tester of Thrustmaster shows the same (A) event.

I've found workaround for BoS. In my configuration utility I map button to a key with desired modifiers. But in Settings - Key mapping to assign my button to necessary function I press keyboard sequence USING KEYBOARD, not joystick button. 

It works. Try.

Я много и долго пользовался мапером SVmaper в старом ИЛ2  у меня на базе MJOY16 был простроен РУС https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXLMaJnaFJY&t=857s

 

Сейчас летаю в ИЛ2 БЗС на базе MJOY16 построен РУД https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYMFBAMcLis&t=2s

 

Віяснил что без Yes в столбике  CONTINOUS  мапер настолько короткие по времени делает ( эмулирует) нажатия клавиш что игра их нормально не обрабатывает. И приходится мапиь все кнопки в режиме долговременного нажатия.

Камрады, подскажите, не нашел тут ответа на свой вопрос, может пока поиск не освоил.

Есть РУД от GVL на MJOY16 Тундра, DCS, легко видят все что есть на руде, и кнопки и тумблеры. БЗС же видит только кнопки и оси. К примеру если через svmapper еще можно на тумблер завести через клавиши выпуск уборку шасси, то для закрылков нужно эмулировать удержание кнопки (есть один трех позиционный тумблер, который обычно на закрылки вешаю). Как можно в svmapper что то подобное забиндить?
