How can be this controlled in that simulator? Can HIDmacros be used with this application?

Using USB MIDI controller as game controller

Post by ToFran » 29 Dec 2014, 15:20

Hey guys I'm new here and so far I'm loving hidmacros!
I have a Hercules DJ Control MP3 e2

At this point you probably guessed what i want to do:
I want to use it for flight simulator, but windows detects it as a midi controller and not a game controller.... :(
Is there any thing i can do to be able to use the axes as game controllers?

Thank you
ToFran

MIDI support is still experimental and AFAIR it supports only buttons, not axis.
Just run HidMacros and see if the device is detected at first tab. If you see the device, you should be able to assign some key to macro.

Thank you,
I thought it was not possible because the MIDI device was not showing up.
After re-installing drivers and disabling the automatic drivers from windows update I managed to detect the device in HID macros:

Thanks a lot now I can assign macros to the MIDI buttons.

It would me amazing if I could use these faders and knobs:

Do you know any software that could allow me to do that?

Thanks,

Yes, there's no way in HidMacros to use MIDI axis.
