Joystick Diagrams 2.3.0

What is Joystick Diagrams?

This tool auto creates viewable/printable diagrams of your joystick binds directly from your games/tools with cross integration between them with an open API for extensibility to do whatever you like.

Changelog

• Now supports Falcon BMS, thanks to community plugin creator Crash331 (Any issues reach out on Discord to dedicated channel - https://discord.gg/MpmmCm7stf)
• Now supports Elite Dangerous, thanks to community plugin creator DiscountDarcy
• Fixed bug with OpenKneeBoard path setting for DCS
• All plugins are now full unpackaged with the tool, users will be prompted to install what they need vs having all plugins all the time (Your settings should be saved)
• All plugins can be independently updated and users will be told when updates are available, this means bug fixes will not require a full update. The main tool is now referred to as Joystick Diagrams Engine
• Users can browse the plugin store from within the app
• Modifiers can be exported as part of main bind without template needing explicit _MODIFIERS keys (Off by default - Turn on in options)
• Discord device templates are now synced with the website, to give better view of what coverage we have (https://www.joystick-diagrams.com/templates/#community-templates)
• Linux Tarball package is now available as part of build (Website will be updated in future - Download direct from https://github.com/Rexeh/joystick-diagrams/releases/latest)
• Portable version for Windows is back although installer is recommended - (Website will be updated in future - Download direct from https://github.com/Rexeh/joystick-diagrams/releases/latest)

Helping out

Plugins

Now we have a full plugin system, it really is easy to create new functionality or integrations, even if you're leveraging AI to do so - Read more at https://www.joystick-diagrams.com/developers/

Templates

Supporting new hardware is only as good as people with the hardware being able to create templates for others to use, this is always the most valuable contribution you can make!

Moza have sent me their entire product pack, but I need help converting these into templates for the community - If you're interested please reach out!

We have a dedicated page for understanding how to create them - https://www.joystick-diagrams.com/templates/custom/

HAPPY FLYING!

    • Require to set EW target type in ME or by ground crew config panel
    • Require to assign each target with an area coord (from ME navigation point panel [PP1…PP4] by mission maker, or from F10 label via DTC, or manually enter the coordinates into channels 36-39 via UFCP)
    • Target 1~4 are bound to PP1~4, respectively
    • Click R4 to command the LD-10 seeker to start searching for a signal. If the desired signal is captured, HUD/SMS will show RDY, otherwise it shows T/O (timeout).
    • LOFT is available due to distance information being installed.
• PAS mode
  • Desired target type (RWR contact) is selected by TDC on HSD
  • Require signal search and acquisition before launch
