I can get input from any button with joy_buttons and joy2_buttons, here's the page from GS manual wich explains how to use it: http://www.conitec.net/beta/joy_buttons.htm 3D Gamestudio A8 Pro AMD FX 8350 4.00 Ghz 16GB RAM Gigabyte GeForce GTX 960 4GB

I would really like to have a steering wheel/accelerator/brake and two joysticks for a current simulator training project I am working on without the extra work needed for other apps.

Code: if(joy_hat == -1) { cam_glance_set_pan = 0; cam_glance_set_tilt = 0; } else if(joy_hat == 0) cam_glance_set_tilt = -30; else if(joy_hat == 180) cam_glance_set_tilt = 40; else if(joy_hat == 270) cam_glance_set_pan = -90; else cam_glance_set_pan = joy_hat; A7 Commercial First person submarine combat simulator project http://alexanderforeman.webs.com/fightersubgame.htm
