DX Center Buttons Mode

[tarn]

New owner of a FSSB-R3L MKII ULTRA and F16SGRH grip. Have got it set up and working - now tweaking sensibilities / sensitivity and such to get it dialed in. Really like it so far.

Have one question/issue I haven't been able to find a good solution for. Some of the hats will give a center press after I press and release that hat in a direction. For example, CMS FWD often ends up getting followed by a brief CMS PRESS.

RS_HID_DEV_TOOL has the DX Center Buttons option (also called DX Button Centre in the documentation) that can be set to DCLICK to sort of work around this, by specifying that the center button (press) will only fire if you double-click it. However this a global change that effects all hats for that slot. I'd really rather not make, say, a press of the weapon release button require a double click, especially for CCIP drops where accuracy of timing is essential.

Is there any way to set the DX Center Button option only for specific hats? That would be a very helpful solution for this.

Or if not, since the spurious center press is very brief, is there any way to specify that specific buttons require being held for a certain length of time before they fire? It seems like this could be part of the pulse generation feature.

Any other suggestions? Posting here to try to get advice on this or hear other solutions, but if it's more appropriate I can post this in the "Suggestions" forum.

Thanks!

I general I wish the button configuration was flipped the other way around, i.e., for each button you could select what DX button number, if any, it produces, does it need a double click, etc. This is also the common way to configure keyboards, mice, etc. Now with RS_HID_DEV_TOOL everything is "global" and it's difficult to even understand what exactly happens for each button.

The software package download for RealSimulator consumer devices hasn't been updated in over 2 years. On one hand it's nice that it's stable, but it only supports whatever scenarios the developers deem fit to specifically support, whereas allowing free configuration of everything would give the users building blocks to do whatever they want, however unorthodox or "unrealistic" it might be. I would like to reiterate my wish to open source at least part of the firmware – I volunteer to rewrite the USB HID button implementation.
