Aimtrak Gun now optionally emulates joystick

[AndyWarne]

Latest firmware and config utility 1.6 available here:
http://www.ultimarc.com/aimtrak.html

This version adds an option to emulate an analog joystick instead of mouse. This is selectable in the config utility. This causes the analog X and Y axes to follow the aim of the gun so the full screen area is mapped to the full analog joystick travel.

Some PC games require this as they do not support mouse control.

Two bugs also fixed:

• Intermittently switching to Guncon mode on a PC when the PC is rebooted.
• Bouncing to opposite side of screen when going out of range

I guess this would make it easier for games like Revolution X.  Nice addition!

Revolution X already worked great for me..
I could use this feature on Dynamite Duke setting up keyboard "input"
and use Aimtrak "joystick input" for the shooting parts.
I'll have to play around with this for sure!

I said I was not going to ever upgrade my firmware after getting it all
set so nicely. I think I may change my mind..

Now if I could figure out some kind of way to switch back to "mouse input"
after a select few games this would be perfect!


Thanks!

Yes. It could great if it was possible some kind of configuration or combo with the buttons, like the calibration method... Button1+Button2 aiming out of screen during 30seg, for example...

For me, the best addition with the new analog emulation is that at least I'm able to play Starky&Hutch in two player mode, one with a Wheel and the other with the lightgun (I have not tried yet).

...I'm guessing the "complete" solution still isn't available...

[lodoss118]

yes any news on the complete version?

[AndyWarne]

We are getting closer. We are training up someone to do some assembly this week.

We do now have the housings for the LED bar in stock also so it really will be a complete solution, and including the window in the nose of the gun. That took a lot of sourcing, scoured the world but then found the correct material at a supplier 5 miles away!

Isn't that the way it always works out... Great to hear that you finally got a suplpier, and one next door!

Will you be making just the LED housing and gun cover available separately? I never got either of those with my gun kits - and it would be nice to have them complete.

Andy,

Do you have any plans for any other style of housing such as a shotgun?

Seconded. Where is the LED bar?

[GreatLamer]

Should we see a video about joystick emulation? For example, the new game Remington Africa PC version very need this feature, because 4 player only with joy possible. And Virtuas PC already need.

The LED bar housing is temporarily available on this store page:

But we will be including this in the gun housing kit as soon as we have the pre-Xmas rush of orders out the way.

Hi Andy.
I can't see the image of the housing in your webstore.
Always take me on the main page.
Could you please fix this?
I want to see which is the housing before i buy it.

Thank you.
