    I'm curious about that FTL Matrix you have on the left side. Can you share any details about it? It's construction/wiring/operation?

    • @AfterimageFlight
      @AfterimageFlight  3 года назад +1

      It rotates left and right with the center part inserted, which contacts microswitches on either side of the rotation for left and right direction rotation of the mechanism. This acts as two different digital inputs.

    Amazing craftsmanship! Well done! While you have an existing "big target" trackball, consider swapping the mouse for a more ergonomic trackball! Once you get used to them, they're pretty fantastic - saves some nerve pinching too (as I can imagine sitting in this thing for hours at a time).

    dude... how long and how much did it take to build and integrate all this in a set-up? I'm looking to start my first "sim-pit" using PVC as a base frame, and working around that. With an old Saitek X45 HOTAS as my initial control unit, while still utilizing M/KB controls outside of the X45 configurations. Seeing this video... I"M LOVING your set-up.
    I would TRULY love to know more about it... in detail.

    How do you stay on top of key mapping?
    I use Joystick Gremlin and every time anything changes, I lose everything... After a while I realized that I spend more time mapping keybinds over and over in the various titles than I do actually playing. As a result, I've stopped writing macros and advanced functions. If I could force an ID in windows, or use some sort of intermediary pi device to create a stable environment that can simply connect to windows - I might be able to do a pit and iterate on my changes rather than continuously starting over. How do you keep it all working?

    • @AfterimageFlight
      @AfterimageFlight  3 года назад +1

      Hmm, I'm not sure, the only time anything changes for me if I unplug or plug in new devices. I haven't had to redo bindings for anything unless I make a change like that. Is that what you mean? I also use Joystick Gremlin.

      @@project.jericho Windows does some very undesirable things when it comes to device order sometimes. Even between boots it can change which is extremely frustrating when it comes to trying to maintain bindings.
      Make sure you don’t have any XID devices connected, such as Xbox stuff. That tends to ignore any normal device order.
      Long story short, there’s a legacy method and a new method that stuff uses to determine the device order. You may have luck with these, however, YMMV and this doesn't work for Star Citizen, it might work for older games.
