Joystick Program For BVE

[womer_uk]

Noticed this while trawling the net, It has been posted before but the only version on Vector is a Japanese one.

This version is the English one you can DL from...

http://www.electracode.com/4/joy2key/JoyToKey%20English%20Version.htm

at bottom of page

It's a lot better than the BVE one built in as you can map as many keys as you wish making it great for the British BVE trains with the ATS.DLL plugin.

Also, if you live in the UK, the cheap supermarket Aldi are selling a PS2 type controller for the PC (has 12 keys 2 POV's and a D pad) for 6 pounds, Excellent for BVE

Wow! This is a great addition for BVE realism.. I have a logitech extreme 3D Pro ...using this program works a treat compared to the BVE built in one....so if you are sick of the keyboard...try this one out.
Thanks John for directing me to this!

Cheers!

Can anyone reccomend a cheapo USB joystick? Unfortunately there's this stupid idea with new machines that there should be no PS2/serial/paralell ports, only USB .

Hi Tom,

If you want a joypad go to your nearest Aldi, they still (Saturday 15th) had some of these PS2 style joypads with a USB interface for the PC for 6 Pounds,

Most Cities Esp in the north, should still have plenty, Mine did

What I meant to say is that it's a Playstation 2 style joypad for a PC with a USB interface (will also work with a Playstation 1 & 2 and X-Box as it has 3 types of connectors on it)

BTW I might as well add they are also doing a steering wheel for 25 quid (but these were flying off the shelves this morning )

ALL their stuff carries a 3 yr guarantee as well !

I bought the Aldi steering wheel, works great on XP.
I needed to install both he gamepad and wheel drivers on the CD first to get it working though.

RE: Joystick Program For BVE

I've installed the driver for the gamepad, just got to work out now how to map the keys ;(

What's this steering wheel thing? I don't associate steering wheels with trains.

RE: Joystick Program For BVE

Heres mine for 2 and 3 lever cabs for the aldi Joypad Boxcars, put in your Joy to key folder and play about with my settings

John

I just told people about the steering wheel in case someone wanted to get a cheap one
