TGP Zoom

`Using the throttle button 6 (Z-axis) you can zoom in and out put you can't stop the zoom from going to the min or max. There is no in between. Am I missing something here?

Hi, Please try our last SIMAPP PRO, there is a new function ,you can switch the Z AXIS to a 3-way button, which mean you can binding as keyboard.

Thanks.

Thanks for your quick updates.

The only problem I can see with that is that it won't work as well as a radar control. I've confirmed mine works the same way (fully zoomed on the TGP unless I hold it zoomed out), this must be a bug in the F18 module as it works perfectly well on the Radar Page when controlling antenna elevation.

Gladman, set a deadzone (I used 10) on the axis and the zoom starts to work as expected :)

Right on man. Thanks for that.

I’ve got it set in Joystick Gremlin to control a vJoy axis which I set to relative mode, making it appropriate for the F-16 antenna knob. I use a button combo to recenter it.

I’ve also got JG executing a vJoy button at the top, middle, and bottom of the antenna knob so I can use it in both absolute and relative mode without changing profiles.

I am trying to do this for the F16 as well. Can you give me some guidance on how to do this. I havent done it in JG before

First, map the Z axis on the throttle to a vJoy axis, choose relative and scale 25.00.

Second, you have to also set up a way to center the axis since it won't autocenter. I choose to have it center when I have the comm switch pressed inward (button 13) and the knob is moved to center.

Ok I'll give this a try and see how it works. thx a bunch

The 2-4 screenshots are of a macro action added to the Z Axis on the throttle. There's three vertical tabs on the right side of the macro action. Each screenshot of 2-4 is of one of those tabs.

The action tab indicates what happens (in my file, I also have the center of the z axis activate a button, and also at the top and the bottom, so I don't have to go into SimAppPro for that). The condition tab indicates that it only happens if you're holding button 13 on the throttle. The Virtual Button tab indicates that it only happens in between certain values on the Z axis.

I don't think it would necessarily work if I were to simply upload the file, because it may be dependent on IDs assigned by Windows. But it's worth a shot if it might make things easier on you.

Word of warning... there is a LOT of stuff going on in this file, on multiple controllers (not just the Winwing gear). It might be confusing. I suggest you use this as a starting point for what you want to do yourself.

I dont know how you got you Vjoy Device 1and Zaxis part to pop up on your screen

Under action settings, click the dropdown box that says Joystick, and choose the vJoy option.

Dinner time... I'll check back later if you have any other issues. :thumbup:

Yeo thats what I did but nothing happens

I'm going to ask what might be a dumb question... but you DO have vJoy installed, correct? It's a separate program that JG interfaces with.

Yep JG won't work without it. It's ok though. I find another workaround that is actually working out good for me

Glad you found out something for you then. It took me a while to get used to JG, coming from TARGET, but since I'm not using any TM controllers anymore, I kinda had to, to get over some limitations.
