So.. I love VJoy for what it is, however some games/programs hate it. The usual undesirable behavior I run into is the game detecting a joystick giving "UP" or "LEFT" constantly, disallowing menu navigation, controller re-mapping, etc.. I was trying to configure some PC games this morning (Crawl and Guilty Gear Xrd) and finally got FED UP with it.After doing some research, I found a solution. DEVCON (Windows Device Console) is a tool out of some Windows SDK kit (read more here if you're interested). I peeled out just the necessary EXE file (devcon.exe) and have written a bat file that will disable/enable VJoy. "vjoy disable.bat" - Calls devcon to disable vjoy devices in windows device manager"vjoy enable.bat" - Calls devcon to enable vjoy devices in windows device managerYou'll need to right-click devcon.exe and set to "Run this program as an administrator". Run the bat files with windows device manager open a few times and make sure the VJoy device enable/disable files are working as intended. If they're working you should see the icon for the VJoy device change when disabled and go-back when re-enabled.You can set these BAT files to run on launch and upon exit of a given game within PC launcher. Depending on what state you want VJoy in by default will determine which order you run them in.Here's how I run mine on games that freak out when VJoy is enabled:PreLaunch: "vjoy disable.bat"PostExit: "vjoy enable.bat"Download devcon with vjoy bat files HEREI know I can't be the

IrFFB, you will need to download both of these programs: irFFB vJoy 2.1.9.1 Using the built-in force feedback of iRacing is nice and simple. Adding irFFB complicates matters a fair bit as there are several more options to deal with. Unfortunately, irFFB can be finicky to get working on some computers. I haven't had any issues with it, but others haven't been so lucky. irFFB Modes irFFB has no installer, just run the application. Apparently, there can be an issue with running the application from different locations over time, so I recommend making an iRacing Apps folder next to your iRacing install and just leaving it there. If you ever upgrade to a new version, just replace the application in the same folder. irFFB can operate in two modes. In the 360Hz mode, it calculates completely new force feedback using telemetry data from iRacing. None of the original force feedback signal is used. This adds some latency to the force feedback. I can't feel it, but you might if you are more sensitive to it. One benefit of this mode is that it does not require vJoy to be installed. In the 60Hz mode, irFFB intercepts the original signal from iRacing and augments it with the new effects. This has very little latency, so it's generally the preferred method. In order for this to work, however, you need to install and configure vJoy. I can barely feel the difference between the two modes, but I recommend the 60 Hz mode just in case the latency would ever be an issue. vJoy Installation Some versions of vJoy may have compatibility issues. vJoy 2.1.9.1 works perfectly for me on both Windows 10 and 11. To install, download and run vJoySetup.exe, installing all the companion applications when asked. You may need to restart your computer. Once installed, run the Configure vJoy application. Click the "Enable vJoy" checkbox for vJoy Device 1. The default settings should work fine as follows: vJoy Configuration Setting Value Axes X only Number of Buttons 8 POV Hat Switch Continuous POVs 0 Force Feedback All Checked Enable vJoy Checked (for iRacing only) Importantly, you will likely need to disable vJoy by unchecking the "Enable vJoy" checkbox when you play other games with the wheel. Some games won't recognize the wheel is attached at all when vJoy is enabled. irFFB Settings With vJoy enabled, run irFFB before you launch iRacing.

Philippe M New Member Joined: Jun 11, 2021 Ratings: +0 / 0 / -0 I recently had to reinstall Windows and since then R3E doesn't detect vJoy anymore. I've been relying on vJoy to use a StreamDeck as a button box and until this reinstall it had been working flawlessly. I can see in ACC that the vJoy's id has changed, but there I don't have any problem to reassign the buttons. In R3E, vJoy reads as disconnected and trying to bind the buttons again doesn't produce any result as the virtual controller is not detected at all.I tried to move my UserData folder to force R3E to create a new one, and when I look into the new device_statistics.xml, vJoy isn't referenced at all. I tried reinstalling vJoy, I tried reinstalling R3E, but so far nothing helped.Any suggestion on how to fix this? Tobias Worm Member Joined: Feb 1, 2015 Ratings: +14 / 0 / -0 I had the same problem long time ago. Which version of vjoy have you installed? I had to downgrade to an older version. After this it comes back to RRRE. Philippe M New Member Joined: Jun 11, 2021 Ratings: +0 / 0 / -0 Thanks for the answer, Tobias! The version I have installed is 2.1.9.1. What's yours? Tobias Worm Member Joined: Feb 1, 2015 Ratings: +14 / 0 / -0 Philippe M New Member Joined: Jun 11, 2021 Ratings: +0 / 0 / -0 OK, I figured it out. For the records:I installed the 2.16 but it still didn't work. Since I previously used the Configure vJoy application to set the number of buttons to 128, I tried

Effects to be played on your setup, whatever theunderlying driveboard can provide. Emulating effects requires at least the constant torqueeffect to be operationnal on your motor driver (ie a rumble-only setup cannot be used).Calibration of the wheel rotation and analog inputs can pe performed from the GUIto map your physical wheel amplitude to the maximum vJoy amplitude, samefor pedals.Digital inputs are mapped to buttons and remapping is possible using the GUI.This allows to finally handle your personnal setup whatever the wiring has been done.Outputs (to drive lamps) are retrieved for MAME, Supermodel (model 3), m2emulator,and OutputBlasters plugin games (Teknoparrot) using either MAME Windows Outputsystem, network output system (MAME/flycast), or direct raw memory read (model 2).Already a lot of games are handled properly, and more are added over the time.Many thanks to SailorSat& BigPanik and Boomslangnz for all their work.The software also allows to define "control sets" for a unique configuration per game orper emulator. The control sets store parameters that can be tuned according to each gameor emulator behavior. Using runtime auto-detection based on current running process name andmain window's title, the software will automatically switch its configuration accordingto the current game playing.The feeder software also allows to define keystrokes (emulation of keyboardkeypress) based on either buttons or axes inputs.This can be a replacement for joytokey or autohotkey in most use cases.In particular, it can detect combinaison of buttons press to issue specialkeystrokes like Alt+F4, or ESC when the user presses or holds the panel buttons.What is next?The next steps I plan are:add schematics to help people do their cablingadd I2c support for lowcost digital IO extensions (mainly for Leonardo)support encoder feedback to get very fine angle resolution, perhaps making abetter FFB feeling.How to use itTwo possibilities are offered: either pick the latest released installer/setup, orcompile the software by your own.To build the application, please install Visual Studio 2019 Community Editionwith C# for Desktop.The software expect vJoy 2.2.2 to be installed, so please install it separatly(see subdirectory tools/vJoySetup exe).Next, configure the first virtual joystick using the Configure vJoy tool withfollowing options:Note: Only 3 or 4 vJoy axes are useful.Configuring and cabling the hardwareDepending on your hardware, different options are possible.Model 1/2, Happ or DC-based motors (DIY wheel): analog or digital PWM mode on Arduino Mega2560 or LeonardoAnalog PWM or Dual PWM output can be used for DIY steering wheels.For PWM2M2 or PWM2HAPP installation (Sega Model 1/2, Midway cabinets), crawl on
