VJoy Rudder Brakes

[ady7970]

Hi there,

Since the release of the FlightFactor A320 I’m having to use VJoy because, for some reason, this aircraft does not recognise any inputs when connecting using the standard CLS2Sim X-Plane route 🙁

But, unfortunately, the VJoy doesn’t appear to send the brake pedal signal…is this right? Is there anything I can do to get the pedals working please?

Thanks,

Ady

Had the following reply from FlightFactor:

This is because we are using XP datarefs for controls directly.

You can use virtual driver https://cls2sim.brunner-innovation.swiss/VirtualJoystick.htm

Or contact developers, and request a list of datarefs, that we can use for input and detection of this devices.

Do you think Brunner might be able to work with them to provide details for integrating CLS2Sim datarefs with this new Airbus aircraft? With the release of the CLS-E Joystick for Airbus, this could be a great collaboration.

Thanks!

Hi Ady

The Brakes of the Rudder are directly mappable in X-Plane when it is connected over USB
The rudder is also a Game controller…

Hi Stefan,

Except that I connect to the CLS-E devices through Ethernet as this seems a more consistent and stable connection. I had a few issues where my computer woudn’t Start when the pedals were connected to it via USB.

The FlightFactor developers have offered to collaborate with you and Diego to integrate the CLS2Sim DataRefs into their aircraft. Would you be happy to do that please?

Hi Ady

We use the standard DataRefs for the brakes

Value is written here:
sim/cockpit2/controls/left_brake_ratio
sim/cockpit2/controls/right_brake_ratio

Is set to 1:
sim/operation/override/override_gearbrake
sim/joystick/has_certified_brakes

Hi Stefan,

Many thanks for the info – I’ll pass it on. Actually, though, it’s not just the brakes but everything that doesn’t work when connecting CLS2Sim to X-Plane with this aircraft. I can only get it to work at all with vJoy.

Could you please provide details of the other DataRefs and I’ll pass those on to FlightFactor? I’ll see if, maybe, they can provide you guys with a developer version of their aircraft so you can see more closely why it isn’t working?

Thanks for your help!

Regards,

Ady
