It seems when I pasted the script here a space was added between the c and the s in the lines:
screen_x = windll.user32.GetSystemMetric s(0)
screen_y = windll.user32.GetSystemMetric s(1)
It seems there is a bug in the forum software or something I don't understand. In the new script I pasted below I had to set some words to bold or the same would happen. I should have checked that what I post works, sorry. If script gives errors it is not running, so obviously the game won't see activity for the vJoy device.
In the meantime I changed more things. Now instead of "pressing" virtual buttons you "press" keys or key combinations. Easier to map controls in game that way: just map the keys. I tested this with Falcon BMS and I could eject no problem. :) . Axes don't work in AH for some reason, though. :(
I mapped the mouse wheel to the z axis. For throttle or rudder.
Big chance there are still bugs, need someone to find them! :D.
P.S. I changed the default key to enable the script. Now it is Scroll Lock.
P.S.2 They virtual joystick should show up and move in windows "game controllers" properties.
