A fix for Full Axis throttle mapping

[A fix for Full Axis throttle mapping]

For those who wish to use the Thrustmaster TWCS throttle, I've thrown together a FreePIE script which utilises all of the buttons and applies the full-range-throttle-fix as per other comments here.

 

The throttle and vJoy ID numbers can be changed simply in the script, without needing to change every reference by using THROTTLE_ID and VJOY_ID respectively.

 

Hope this helps!

# When plugging and unplugging your devices, the ID number
# of your device may change. Rather than trying to find
# each reference to the device in the script, just change
# the respective values below.

# THROTTLE_ID is the ID number of your physical TWCS throttle.

# VJOY_ID is the ID number of the vJoy instance your TWCS throttle
# is supposed to pass data to, from FreePIE.

THROTTLE_ID = 0
VJOY_ID = 0

# There has been discussion about adding referencing for devices 
# by name here: http://www.mtbs3d.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=139&t=21709
# NOTE: This will require a custom build of FreePIE, as discussed in the
# thread.
