Work in progress

A virtual input device manager - written in Rust.

Overview

Reroute input:

Combine input from multiple gamepads, joysticks, throttles etc. to one virtual joystick.

Transform input:

Create analog axes from buttons.
Apply button- or axis-trim to existing axes.
Create tempo or toggle buttons from momentary buttons.

Shift-modes:

Assign multiple output rebinds to one input via shift-modes.

Requirements

Windows 10/11 64 bit only for now. Linux support is blocked by a missing vJoy alternative.

vJoy driver version 2.2.1.1 needs to be installed.

State

Rebind maps can be created one rebind at a time with the existing UI. Rebinds can be edited and saved/loaded to/from a custom location. Input is properly transformed and piped.

The existing set of rebind types is enough to setup a proper flight sim configuration, but the setup takes a while.

Todo

Easier rebind setup with quick-configurations ('setup wizard').
More rebind variants:
- Split hat into 4/8 buttons.
- Combine buttons to hats.
- More axes merge options.
- Split axis into +/- component.
Documentation/Guide for the available rebinds.
In-application console for logging.

Build

Either call one of the launch batchfiles from the workspace root or build and copy to output manually:

Debug build:

cargo build
Copy assets/ to target/debug
Copy SDL2.dll to target/debug

Profiling build:

cargo build --release --features "profile"
Copy assets/ to target/release
Copy SDL2.dll to target/release
Start Tracy client and connect running instance to collect traces.

Dist build:

cargo build --profile dist
Copy assets/ to target/dist
Copy SDL2.dll to target/dist

Technical infos

Input is read through SDL2 as generic joystick input.

Output is piped to vJoy through a Rust wrapper library.

The GUI of choice: egui.

Which is rendered via Vulkan through a custom wrapper: VKU.

Rebind maps are de-/serialized to TOML through the Serde framework.

Profiling is supported through Tracy.
