Hello everyone!
I don´t want to spend money for a new HOTAS at the moment and my Thrustmaster Afterburner II lacks many wheels, rotaries and sliders for trim, mixture, pitch, radiator control, etc..
Now I wonder if I could divert my Oxygen 49 USB-MIDI Keyboard into a controller. Maybe there is program which can interpret the raw usb data or convert the MIDI information into (game)controller outputs. It doesn´t work "out-of-the-box" with Cliffs of Dover. I think that´s because the keyboard is not installed as a (game)controller, so CoD cannot recognize it.
I thought I could give it a try and ask you guys for some ideas or solutions. I would really appreciate it! Thanks in advance!

You can you use Glovepie to do that but you have to write your own scripts

Or instead use the (more expensive) Oxygen 49 USB-MIDI Keyboard, buy a cheap USB keyboard and use with HIDMacros, with some customization in keys, like:

Thanks guys! I guess it will need some fiddeling, but GlovePIE and HID Macros both look like the could do the trick.

@Soko1
The Oxygen is already on my desk and if I get it´s many knobs, sliders and rotaries to function with CoD, that´s all I gonna need! smile
