Disable Blackbox when no Stick Connected

Postby zenmonkey » Tue Mar 20, 2018 19:11

I was wondering what the best way is to disable the blackbox when no stick is connected. I currently have two BBs, but I don't always want the sticks connected. When I disconnect the sticks the BBs still register input on the axis (0,0) which interferes with some non-flightsim games. Ideally I don't want unplug and replug the USB every time I switch games. Is easiest way to create a new profile with no analog inputs and just swap profiles?

You should be able to disable all axes within VKBdevCfg and save that as a profile then. I've done something very similar when using my old Mamba Mk.III base for its rotaries, without a grip attached. Maybe that would work for you?

Run VKBDevCfg, open Common-n-Axes - Logical axes tab, uncheck En and Vs (Enable & Visible), press Set button. You can save this configuration to file and load it when you need. Do not forget to save your working profile!!!

There is another way to achieve the goal - the Parking button in Tools. I can not guarantee that this is correct, but it works. No axis will respond until you click the Restart button in Action. And you do not need to create any profiles. Only two buttons in the configurator.
