DescentBB

Hello there,

some time ago I made a vtchid-profile to use the Steel-Battalion-controller with Descent 3. Anyone who wants to use this will now be able to. I also include my pilot-file for the ingame-control-config of the several buttons and axes.

What you need:
- the Steel-Battalion-controller (of course)
- XBOX-USB-converter cable (self-built or SmartJoy X2-USB)
- Descent 3
- latest vtchid-driver from http://www.tamanegi.org/prog/vtchid/
- this config-pack

This config-pack may need some tweaking to work efficiently, but I wanted to give it to you so that you can customize it for your needs.

Download-URL for the Config-pack:

Gee, quite a piece of equipment. Thanks for sharing !

WOW!! does D3 even have that many functions to assign all the buttons?


Great Contribution

That's a beast.

Thx for your positive replies. I'm not getting much feedback, cause of the rarity of the controller.

Does anyone of you actually own Steel-Battalion and is interested in using the controller for Descent-games?

And I have config-packs for other games too:
- FreeSpace2_Open

- Independence Wars 2: Edge of Chaos

- Descent 3

- Darkstar One (not released yet, since I prefer mouseplay with this one)

and have also done pilot-profiles with default-vtchid-profile for:
- HAWX (working perfectly, played it through)
- X3: Reunion (ingame bug: Aiming lever sometimes deadjusts the viewdirection, so I prefer mouseplay)


Please gimme some more feedback...

You might find it worthwhile to share the configuration for FreeSpace 2 over at Hard Light, the FS community hub. You would reach more FS players there than here.

Yes, I know that, the link in the fs2_open-section is to hard-light-forum. But thanks for your concern.

Is anybody using my Descent3-profile with his Steel-Battalion-controller?
