JoyToKey and CH Pro Throttle

[VBF-12_Stick-95]

Anyone have this combo working?  I can't get pass step one.  The throttle is recognized in the OS just fine.  I have J2K set to Run as Admin.  J2K shows the throttle in the listed controllers.  It does not however recognize (highlight) my pressing of any throttle button in the assignment area.  If I assign a keyboard letter to a known throttle button number and attempt to test it in Wordpad I get nothing.  Very frustrating.

 

The highlights never move when buttons are pressed.

Are you sure that "Joystick 1" is the throttle and not stick or pedal?

 

I use Joy2Key with several controller in various games without problem.

 

Anyway why don't use CH soft (Manager)?

Settings > Configure Joysticks > Advanced Settings for each device TAB > Select Device and set it to a joystick number

 

Does that cure the issue?

Thanks for both of your posts!  After Sokol's post I was able to stumble into it.  I think I have most everything mapped.  Will give the guy some money for writing it.

 

Not a fan of CHCM.

I know this is an old post, but I was having the same problem. Could not figure out how to get the shift key to work, until I found this. Now the shift function works! Next step will be trying to set a keybinding like Alt +...think I saw instructions on JoytoKey's site for multiple keys. Might fix the problem.

Thanks for the tip!

When you select a button to configure in JoyTokey, and press LShift (or RShift) in keyboard, JoyTokey assume "Shift" what will recognize both LShift and RShift press.

 

If want specific "LShift" , right click in the assignment box and choose "L-Shift" in pop-up menu. Same for Alt, Ctrl.

I'm having an issue with L-Shift+b.  If I'm carrying bombs, and activate boost, JoyToKey drops a bomb as well as turning boost on or off, because the "b" key drops bombs.  I have tried various things to resolve this but I've hit a dead end.  Does anyone know a solution other than changing/deleting IL-2 default keybinds?

This issue is due how the game (IL-2 GB) see combo keys (e.g. L-Shift+b), what make JoyToKey not suitable for this kind of keys combo.

Instead use Joystick Gremlin and set "delay" between "L-Shift" and "b" press.

That's what I suspected.  I confirmed in Notepad that JTK was indeed sending only the correct characters.  I discovered only one other instance of this issue - the parking brake control Lshift+g and the landing gear toggle, g.  Since I don't use the toggle - I use the separate landing gear up and down controls - I simply deleted the keybind for the toggle, and I deleted the "b" keybind for dropping bombs and mapped the button directly.  

 

I REALLY like having an audible cue to indicate which profile I just loaded when I switch "modes", so I'll be sticking with JTK.  I found a nice, mechanical sounding click .wav file and edited it to create 3 tracks, so I have 1 click for mode 1 being loaded, 2 clicks for mode 2, etc.. No more getting mixed up in the heat of things!

 

Thanks for the help!   o7

I ended up switching to Joystick Gremlin.  The conditional activation is bugged so it doesn't allow a "shift" button to work, but using a temporary mode switch and utilizing multiple modes worked just fine to rebuild my profile from CH Control Manager.  Being able to record macros and tweak delays between presses and releases was crucial to getting it to work, but it all works.  Finally no more glitchy control issues!
