Buttons and Other Features Missing from the Monitor Tab for CH-Products Eclipse Flight Simulator Yoke

[mskressin]

I am trying to use HID-Remapper to remap input from a CH-Products Eclipse Flight Simulator Yoke. When I connect the yoke via a USB Hub, I get the following in the Monitor Tab:

A few of the usages are coming across just fine. Specifically, 10030 through 10032. Although the max value is not correct in some cases.
There are a lot more features on the Yoke. 6 Axis, a Hat Switch and 26 buttons. I used HID-Explorer and received the following device info:

Using that, I tried to access one of the buttons by using the Custom Usage feature of the HID-Remapper and had no luck. Here is the custom usage I added:

Here is the WireShark capture from the Yoke. As you can see the data for all features of the yoke are indeed in the input reports.

I have the capture file available, but I cannot figure out how to get GITHUB to allow me to attach it to this issue.

I do have to admit that I am rather new to this, but it sure seems to me that the monitor tab should be able to pickup the button presses and other missing features by using the custom usages feature you provided.

Thanks,

Does it not let you attach the capture file because of invalid file type or something? Can you try zipping it first?

Sorry, I should have thought of that,

OK, I think I can see the issue.

This is probably an older device that uses Low Speed USB, which means the maximum packet size is 8 bytes. But the reports it sends are 16 bytes long, so they're split and sent in two packets. HID Remapper doesn't currently handle this scenario correctly.

You are probably correct about it being an older device. It has been around for quite awhile. And in fact, the company stopped making them about 3 years ago. However, the company had sold millions of them and it is pretty much the "Gold" standard for flight simulator yokes. I am very surprised you have not seen any issues with this until now. Granted it is supported by both Windows and MacOS. And usually, the flight simulator software on those platforms handle the remapping. However, I am moving into a new territory. I am trying to make it work on a PS5, as the PS5 only officially supports one flight controller. Specifically, the Thrustmaster T.Flight HOTAS 4. But unfortunately, Thrustmaster is not making that device anymore which is leaving people scrambling for other options for the new flight simulator games being released for the PS5. My hope was to use HID-Remapper to emulate the PS4 Arcade stick and then use the Brook Wingman FGC2 to emulate the PS5 Dual Sense Controller. Which is supported by all of the PS5 Flight Simulator games, but is a bit awkward to use to fly an airplane.

With that said, are they any plans to change HID-Remapper to handle the Low Speed USB devices such as the Eclipse Flight Yoke?

Thanks for your help,
