Hello all,

I am currently trying to create an automatic countermeasures dispensing program using TARGET for the F-15 in FC3.

I have figured out how to do this, but whenever I run my TARGET script, TARGET combines my joystick and throttle into one virtual device. I don't want it to do this because my controls are configured directly in FC3 using the individual joystick and throttle. When I open the FC3 controls menu my control bindings for the individual joystick and throttle no longer appear. Technically, this is because there is no seperate joystick and throttle anymore, just a new device that requires its own configuration.

I suppose I could rebind all my controls with the virtual device in mind, but that is painful and I don't want to do it if I don't have to. The simplest solution for me is to turn off the 'combining' feature of TARGET.

Can it be done?

Thanks. smile

Sorry unfortunatly no. But you can, depending on your programing needs, program just one of the controlers in target. The device name will allways be Thrustmaster Combined.

Hey,
a little late to the party, but...
You can change the title of the one virutal device there is. Look into the target.tmh file.
Around line 190 you'll finde this line:
if(cfg & CREATE_JOYSTICK) PlugGame(&virtualj, "Thrustmaster Combined");
The string quotes is what the virtual device will be called. So, if you include one the joystick in your programming and rename this string to "Joystick - HOTAS Warthog", after starting the script your joystick still will be called Joystick - HOTAS Warthog, just as in DX mode.

Have fun.

You can do what you want by configuring the devices in main() function:

Code:
int main()
{
	Configure(&Joystick, MODE_EXCLUDED);
	Configure(&Throttle, MODE_EXCLUDED);
	if(Init(&EventHandle)) return 1;
...
