I have been succesfull at assigning buttons as virtual joystick functions. I would like to thank the developers for this great function. But when I try to do the same with encoder this didn't work. I can choose the vjoy from the action type list but nothing comes up.

Hi.

At the moment "NO" .
But i´m hopefully this will get possible in near future. ( I request for this already some months ago)


The Problem:
With VJOY that is basicly possible but the "VJOY Plugin" in Mobiflight can´t handle this workflow at the moment. The Programmer that create this tool simply must add some codelines!

Basic problem is that VJoy in Mobiflight give us just a PRESS or a RELEASE Option.... Thats wonderfull for a Latching Switch !
Thats also possible for a Momentary button (Whatever impractical)
BUT Its not working for a Encoder.... Cause a Encoder send only one Command per detent. (But we need 2 in that case)

SOLUTION: The VJOY Pluging must get reworked... So we get a 3rd. Option .. "Momentary Press" additional to Press and Release
THEN we can use it for Encoder and every Detent will simply simmulate a single Press and Release of a Button.... And That can be used in FSUIPC or AddOn Keybinds to execute something in your Simulator !

**************
Maby the Guy who create the PlugIn will reply here !
Good Luck !
