Hardware Dynam 6CH 3D USB controller configuration problems

[Zaphod]

I recently got this http://www.amazon.com/Flight-Simulator-Controller-Helicopter-Airplane/dp/B004T8HSTK from my dad as a gift. It's meant to run model plane and helicopter simulators. I tried it in orbiter for the heck of it. It seems to work fine except that the camera is constant rotating forward on the Z axis. None of the controls seem to stop it. Any advice would be appreciated.

Also a few of the switches dont do anything (I would like to use them) some one suggested joy2key but it dosen't have any real instructions with it.

a quick and dirty temporary fix might be to remap the key for the movement you want to cancel:

keymap.cfg in the main orbiter folder perhaps?

It's just a wild guess I don't really know if that will help, but if you haven't got any driver-settings for the joystick you can tweak then maybe the keymap.cfg is a way.

It came with no software or drivers, It's plug and play it seems. I'm looking to see if I can find a CFG file

 

[mojoey]

it should be in AppData... or hardware and drivers...

 

[Zaphod]

I didnt see it in appdata. Im looking through the registry but I don't see it either.

Also joytokey detects its plugged in but none of the sticks or buttons seem to register on Joy2key

In that case it should be using a windows driver. Does it show up in control panel? If it does, there should be some kind of option to calibrate it.

 

[Zaphod]

It does show up in control pannel. Thanks. Turns out its way off calibration. And since it's a cheap Chinese knock off some of it's calibrations plain just don't work, wont calibrate properly.

So It looks like I wont be using this controller. Unless one of you can think of some thing im not.

Orbiter Fly-By-Wire?

Might help, though I've never tried it.

Good thing I kept reading the whole thread before I purchased it. :yes:

I'm going to try flyby wire in a bit. But I don't have a lot of confidence. The controller it's self is fine for it's intended purpose, flying RC plane/heli sims. It was my dad's, he had recently gotten a newer and better controller and gave me the Dynam.
