Papyrus: Please keep internal directinput joystick calibration routines

1 post by 1 person · 06 Nov 1998 - 06 Nov 1998

I have heard some people knocking papyrus for having to recalibrate directinput joystick settings, but the microsoft joystick API seems to suck with more than one joystick. I never can seem to tell a game which input device to use, and some games only look at id 1, etc. Bottom line is I would rather calibrate once in GPL, Nascar 3, etc. than mess around with that game controllers craplet. For example, every game I use seems to pick up on my joystick calibration and work correctly, but then getting them to use the wheel is a major pain in the but because the game requires it be id 1. Then I loaded microsoft combat simulator and it is using my wheel calibrations for some unknown reason and I just kept falling out of the sky. I'd rather delete my wheel calibration from the craplet and just tell GPL about it, thanks. Maybe when directx gets switching right, but right now it seems to be up to the game and a total ***shoot.
