Flight pedals, Steering wheel pedals qjoypad

Hello,
Does anybody know, or could they test to see if their pedals will work with qjoypad, it does not have to be flight pedals, steering wheel pedals would do, I just want to be able to configure the pedals with and in qjoypad.
I was looking at
saitek USB Pro Flight Rudder Pedals
or CH Pedals
But I found this cheap flight pedals, but can't get answer if they would work from the seller

In LabVIEW 7, there are some built-in VIs for accessing a joystick. I would think they would also work with a wheel and pedals as long as it identifies itself as a joystick device, though I have not tried this.
You'll find them in the 'Advanced>Input Device Control' palette.
If you don't have LabVIEW 7, I know I've seen some VIs that can access a joystick, but I can't find them right now. Try doing a web search on "joystick +labview" and see what you come up with.
Good luck

Using the Abort button to stop your VI is like using a tree to stop your car. It works, but there may be consequences.

Whats a good mac to use for a home flight simulator with flight controls and foot pedals?

whats a good mac to use for a home flight simulator with flight controls and foot pedals?
My old 6100 AV worked great on A10 ATTACK, back in 1993.
whats a good set up now a days?
I havent seen any MAC set ups as a lot of the after market accessories are on Windows platform.
Is there a way or should I get a dedicated simulator on PC?

The fact that USB flight input devices appear to Windows only is not a limitation; for Mac most are programmed through the sim itself. I know X-Plane does that.
I've simmed a lot and know that good sims need a lot of processor and video hardware horsepower, and you'll also need a lot of RAM. They also run up the internal temps. A Mac Pro has better cooling than an iMac. You can get a program like SMCFanControl to manually set up the fans speeds before starting the sim.
I know of no sims today that will still run on a PowerPC Mac (2005 and earlier) so you need to look to an Intel Mac with top specs. If looking at iMacs, start by looking for the quad-core i7 processor. Those models usually came with an up-rated video card. Thing 12 to 16GB RAM.
My 2010 iMac has the 2.93gHz i7 processor, video hardware (ATI 5750) with 1TB VRAM, and 12 GB of RAM. It runs the x-Plane 10 demo fine but I've not bought the full version because v10 seems to make foot pedals darned near mandatory, and I don't want $100 worth of pedals under my regular work desk at the moment.

Logitech Driving Force GT,How limit 900º steering wheel angle to 200º?

Hi,
I've read that iRacing is going to be ported to linux soon and I've said to myself "Hey man! The time has come, I already can almost say... goooooood bye win!" So, I must be ready when that time comes.
I've got a Logitech Driving Force GT wheel. It's well detected by the kernel at boot time and I can check that it's well detected with jstest-gtk (its whole 900 degrees and pedals are well detected). It's not a problem if you're going to drive a street car, in fact it's what must be since the 900º is a feature of this wheel. But when you need to drive an F1 you must limit the steering wheel angle to 200 or 270 degrees. In windows works perfectly with the logitech profiler, it's the easiest thing ever, but in linux I have no idea how to do it.
When I drive an F1 car I must turn my wheel one turn and a half to reach the side limit, while the wheel of the car in the game just turns about 3/4 of a turn. We both (me with my wheel and the wheel at the videogame) reach the side end of the range at the same time, but the wheel in the videogame just turns 3/4 of a turn while I must turn one whole turn and a half.
I've tried with LTWheelConf ($ sudo ltwheelconf --wheel DFGT --range 200), G25manage, usb-tool... but anything succeed. I've read something about that since kernel 3.2 the FFB and wheels control is built into the kernel modules so these tools are not working anymore or something like that. But, if that's true, how do we do those things that these program did now?
About Force Feed Back, it just works in Live for Speed (although not as good as in windows) while in rFactor, GTR 2, GTR Evolution, TORCS, VDrift and Speed Dreams does not work at all. But I think this needs other topic.
How can I limit the steering angle to my desired degrees?

May I continue this thread in the kernel & hardware forum because I've realize that the wheel isn't detected with the 900 grades and full range pedals at boot time, I have to run ltwheelconf --wheel DFGT --nativemode. So it is more a device configuration than a software use of it.

Force Feedback steering wheel

Hi to all,
I don't know if it is the correct place to post, but I would like to buy a new steering wheel to play with Grand Prix Legends (and its mods) under wine.
My current steering wheel has two issue:
1) it has combined pedals (accelerator and brake use the same axis, so if you press the at the same time the output is zero and you cant brake and at the same time use the accelerator to maintain high engine RPM using the cluth which, hower, is not present and I've to command with a button)
2) it has no force feedback.
So I would like to buy a new one with these non combined pedals and force feedback. Obviously it must work in my arch linux 64 bit system using wine (maybe in the future I may also start playing with the native vdrift).
So before buying anew device I would like to know if:
1) anybody play with racing games and can help me finding a working device;
2) anybody play with Grand Prix Legends under wine with a Force Feedback Steering Wheel;
3) this package (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=50236) is needed to use force feedback. I suppose it will install a library, but I don't know if it will be usable also from a 32 bit program (wine) running in my 64 bit system. Does anybody have experience on that?
Thank you,
Xwang

Hi Teemu,
Like Paul or Sean suggested, using directX, win API, or DLL calls can all provide a solution to your problem.
I would suggest looking at http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/CA411647F224787B86256DD000669EFE?OpenDocument for some more information on reading the joystick/gamepad. To send the force feedback, I would suggest trying to find some more information on the driver provided with Logitech device (maybe searching on google forums) and then calling the functions in LV.
If you end up using the dll's then you can use DependencyWalker (not an NI utility) to get the function names in that dll and then probably searching web on those function names.
You are working on a cool application and maybe you are the first one doing it, so do post the solution in the end.

My ipod classic 160gb will be playing fine then it sometimes freezes up or start shuffling through the songs not playing at all. After i reset it works ok for a while then same thing. Bought this so i could control through my steering wheel/radio.

I sure hope someone can help me with these ipod classic 160gb issues.
My ipod classic 160gb will be playing fine and then freeze up (unable to move around in it at all) and i have to reset it. This happens constantly whether in my car or when i listen at work. After i reset it works ok for a while then eventually requires another reset.
Another problem is that it will be playing fine and then start shuffling through songs without playing them. The songs that get shuffled work fine in the itunes program but not on the device. A reset does not correct the problem with these particular songs.
Also, sometimes when it is working and not freezing up or shuffling through, it will appear that a song is playing (in fact it says "now playing"), the song titlte is scrolling, but the song progression bar does not move. The count up in front of the bar stays at 0:00, and the count down at the end of the bar stays at the song length minutes not counting down. After I reset, it works fine and all the songs will play.
The reason I got this thing was because i can control it through my steering wheel/radio while i'm driving. I previously had a Zune 80gb which i'm glad I held on to. I have over 6600 songs (so I'm obviously a serious music listener and obviously frustrated), but only about 10 songs were downloaded through itunes, the rest I either ripped or downloaded from other site. From what i've been reading it sounds like there's a lot of ipod owners out there experiencing similar problems. Does anyone have any suggestions to resolve these issues for me and everyone else? I got my first iphone 8 months ago, then the ipod and was considering an ipad. But in light of my ipod issues.....
I hope someone can help me and convince me it wasn't a mistake to go Apple! Thanks!!

I finally resolved my problem after spending way too much time on it. I simply handed my 160GB iPod to my husband to put his fav Stones & Beatles songs on and I went back to my 80GB Microsoft Zune which has never disappointed me.
After spending so much time trying to figure this out I did finally take it back to Apple Store who performed a diagnostic and found there was a problem with the device. They replaced it with a refurbished one which has similar issues. All I wanted to do was listen to my music. Was that too much to ask? So I am happy to be free of this problematic device. No more Apple for me!!

Ipod touch 5th gen steering wheel controls

Hi,
I have an Ipod touch 5th gen running ios 7.1.1 and a Pioneer x3600dab car stereo.
I cannot change track using my steering wheel. Volume works.
This is the same with Bluetooth connection and direct via USB.
Has anyone found a work around for this issue? I know the track change works because elsewhere on the stereo unit the buttons work.
Thanks

Have you went to Pioneer's support site?
Using the communities search box in the upper right you can try searching for pioneer and the car manufacturer if it came with the car.

How do I control my iPhone music from my steering wheel

I'm still having trouble controlling my music from my steering wheel. I have a 2012 scion xb. Plus it doesn't auto play when I start the car. What am I doing wrong?

If it uses bluetooth, Apple may have upgraded the bluetooth version in iOS 7. Check with the car dealer to see if there's an upgrade to the car's bluetooth.

Muvo² 5GB steering Wheel questio

Hi!
One difference between the MuVo? 4GB and the newer 5GB (FM) units are the Jog Wheels:
http://www.creative.com/iss/images/corporate/artwork/wp_muvo2fm_allcolours_024.jpg
which seems to be MUCH more difficult to use than the older ones:
http://www.creative.com/iss/images/corporate/artwork/art_muvo2_prod.jpg
How practical is the new construction and how easy is it to skip just one Title forward when you have to pull the button sidewards instead of just pushing it down? I think the Volume control is also not that easy to use...
Why did Creative change the former steering Wheel which was nearly perfect?
cu
John

Thanks for your answers!
It's not possible to take a first look in a Store cause none of the Stores around my place got the 5GB Version of that unit. They have ALL Creative Players except the new MuVo?!
The only option is to order it from Amazon but when it has an uncomfortable steering I'd have to send it back and it's much better to avoid that course of action. So my question...
Just from the point of Design the older version looked MUCH better.
OLD:

HT1430 I drive a 2011 Ford Escape with sync technology. My iphone 4 on the osi 6 would connect through bluetooth and allow me the handsfree access on the steering wheel to run my music. It won't let me change with osi 7

I cannot figure out why the new upgrade osi 7 will not allow me to use the bluetooth control in my 2011 ford escape to be able to change the song on the steering wheel like I could with osi 6. It's making me log into my phone to be able to change it and I don't text and drive so this is defeating the whole purpose of hands free.

you need a firmware update from stero mfg.
Peace, Clyde

Bluetooth on steering wheel question

Hi,
I currently use my iPhone in my car with a GPS stand and connect it to my
audio system via the AUX jack. Works fine.
Recently, I've seen Bluetooth sets that you add to your steering wheel and
let you answer calls directly from the wheel (I don't have a built-in one).
Besides call operations, would anyone here know whether there is a tool
like that that is also able to control the music tracks: play, plause, next and prev.?
I've seen this one
http://beta.hammacher.com/Product/Default.aspx?sku=78040
But it is only for phone operations, not music.
What I need is not to have the music streamed by FM or to the bluetooth kit.
I want to keep my music throught the Jack and AUX plugs but just be able to
answer calls and add track controls.
Thanks for any help

yes if you have Bluetooth on your PC as well

Lightning connector and Steering wheel controlls?

Its a fact that the lightning connector supports Analog audio Out and usb audio out, so thats great!
but what about steering wheel controlls? are those still working?
im connecting my iphone over usb with my car audio system.
cant seem to find that answer anywhere on the internet!

My 3GS integrated with the steering wheel controls on my 2011 Nissan Versa Sport, but it was slow, and sometimes it would take a couple of tries for the stereo to "see" the connection.
With the 30-pin to Lightning cable, my iPhone 5 is integrating perfectly, plus it's faster and works first time, every time. I don't know if it's my imagination, but it seems like the sound is a little crisper, too.
The Apple store advised that I had 2 weeks to try the adapter, with a no-questions-asked return policy. Best thing to do, is try it and see!

Can't answer iphone 4s calls using the button on the steering wheel of my Buick 2009 Enclave.

My iphone 4s is hooked up to my Buick Enclave 2009 using Blueetooth. I can activate Bluetooth via the button on the steering wheel and make voice calls with no problem. However when someone calls me, I can hear the phone ringing through the speakers and can see the number on the display but I can't answer the call using the answer button on the steering wheel. I have to reach over and touch answer on the phone and then I can continue the conversation via Bluetooh. Appreciate any help. Thanks.

The exact same issue is happening with my iphone 5. I don't believe it is the Life Proof case because I have had the pnone for several months and this just recently started happening, I took it to an Apple store and they claimed that this issue is new, that they have never seen it before. After about an hour of trouble shooting, they gave me a new phone.
The new phone worked fine (in the case) for about a week and then started having the same problem. I am on the Sprint network. I have an iphone 4s for work in the same case on the AT&T network and do not have any problems.
I am going to go back to the Apple store at my first opportunity. I wish I would have kept my old 4s which I had no problems with.

Expression Pedal to Wah Pedal in Logic Pro X

This should be simple as control-click the pedal and assign a midi controller such as cc11 but it isn't.
How in heaven's name do you control the wah-wah foot pedal with your MIDI foot pedal?
Somebody, please...I been trying to figure this out for days!

In LPX it is almost that easy.....
Note: Make sure you have turned on ALL the advanced features in LPX's Prefs/Advanced before proceeding
1) Select the track you wish to automate and make sure the plugin (or in your case, I assume the Pedalboard interface) is visible on the screen
2) Press Command + L to open the Control Assignment window.
3) If the Learn button in the bottom righthand corner of the Control Assignment Window is not Blue.. click on it once to turn it on (Blue in color)
4) Click on the wah pedal graphic in the pedalboard window
5) Move your Expression Pedal all the way up and all the way down. You should see the Wah pedal graphic move along with your movements of the expression pedal.
6) Click the Blue Learn button to complete the process.
7) Done.
Additional info: Instead of... or in addition to...your expression pedal you could also assign any other slider or knob on your midi controller for example to any other knob/slider or parameter in the pedal board or any other plugin or the LPX mixer functions such as pan or effect send level... for that matter... you currently have active too... by repeating the above process from Step #2
Now read up on automation in the manual as to how to best record such movements and be able to easily edit them if needed.

...and also type Automation in the search box in the online guide for more info...

HT6154 The most recent iPhone update is not compatible in the same way as before when plugged into Prius. Used to be able to use steering wheel to control music. Now must use the phone.

Please fix compatibility with iPhone and smart cars. Specifically the update that recently affected Prius and iPhone 7

Hello, Nicklmarks.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Sometimes when an iOS update is released there is a compatibility lag with certain features that requires an update to the vehicle. I would first check with your vehicle manufacture for any firmware updates. However, here is an article that has some helpful troubleshooting steps regarding car stereo connections and an iOS device.

Sustain pedal not working in Mainstage only with Kontakt 4 plugin

I can't get Kontakt 4.0.2 to sustain notes when instantiated in Mainstage.
The sustain pedal works fine for Kontakt in stand alone mode, and for the same patch/channel strip in Logic 9, but not when in a channel strip in MainStage.
I have the pedal mapped properly (same channel, same keyboard selected, same channel selected on Kontakt plugin), since all other patches work fine with said sustain pedal in Mainstage... except for the Kontakt samples.
I have tried a different controller with a different sustain pedal (again, properly mapped and channel synchronized- same channel on controller, pedal and Kontakt interface), and the same thing occurs.
I have gone into the "wrench" area of the Kontakt plugin/instrument options/controller/MIDI controller #64(Sustain Pedal) acts as". I have set this to both Pedal + CC, and Pedal w/o CC and restated Mainstage on both occasions.
Neither setting works. Again, the same settings work fine within Logic (i.e. the sustain works). I have the pedal mapped to the right keyboard and to the same MIDI channel in Kontakt, and I can see it respond on the Mainstage interface; in fact, I can play the patch fine; it just doesn't sustain!
An interesting thing is that when I press the pedal, I can see a MIDI message on Mainstage but not in Kontakt.
Have you come across this issue before? Any ideas on what's going on and/or fixes?
Thanks.

You shouldn't have to assign it in Kontakt -- it just works. I would delete that.
A key indicator is that when you press the pedal, the MIDI message does not appear in Kontakt. That tells me your problem is in MainStage -- for some reason MainStage is intercepting that MIDI data. Therefore, the problem's not inside Kontakt's edit mode. It's somewhere in MainStage.
Sorry I can't be of more help but at least that narrows it down.

My reply:
By the way, if you want to instantiate a Kontakt 4 patch within Mainstage, you have to create a keyboard surface in Layout mode, then assign it and map it to the keyboard you want to play that channel strip with in edit mode. If you don't map a sustain pedal object, Mainstage doesn't receive its message; therefore I am confused when you write: "You shouldn't have to assign it in Kontakt -- it just works. I would delete that."
The keyboard is mapped correctly, since I can play the Kontakt patch fine. Both wheel controllers and the sustain pedal are not getting midi data into Kontakt. As I said, everything works fine in Logic with the same set-up; so I agree, it has to be something I am missing within Mainstage...I just don't know what it is!
Has no one else had this issue on this forum?

Personally I don't think that's a solution and may not change a thing. Logic probably recognized the Akai and tried to use a stock Controller Assignment.
It's easy enough to try this without deleting the file I mentioned.
With Logic running, go to the far left Logic Pro menu, go the Preferences> entry down near the bottom is Control Surfaces. You can Bypass, Rebuild or check what is assigned there.
Believe me... this is not time and trouble... had someone more knowledgeable than me about this particular problem answered you, you would've been on your way.
