Future Pinball (+VPlauncher) [Xbox360 controller]

[rehab]

Hi all,

I've created this so I could launch and play the tables with the Xbox360 controller.
Also, FuturePinball's joypad support is very limited.
Be sure to have FuturePinball and VPLauncher installed/configured.

Map the "nudge" controls in FuturePinball to the cursor keys and be sure to disable joypad:


Point your starting executable in Pinnacle to your installed VPlauncher.exe and make sure "Persistent profile" is ticked:


VPlauncher:
- Tables are selected in VPlauncher with the Left stick up/down
- Left thumbstick button or "A"-button to launch the table
- Right thumbstick button to leave VPlauncher

FuturePinball:
- Left stick is used to nudge





Note: I noticed that "Pause" (mapped to "Start") does not work. It is mapped to the Pause/Break key which does work when I press it on the keyboard. Don't know if it's a FuturePinball or Pinnacle-issue.


Enjoy!

Thanks for sharing your profile! As for Pause/Break I think that is a key that can only be emulated in Windows and not in full-screen games... that key is a bit different than most keys, so it's best to remap that in the game and then use Pinnacle to emulate that instead I think... so for instance if you can change it to be ESC key or something instead, that should work then.

Hi Rob,

Thanks for clearing that up. However, I'm afraid that key can't be changed in Future Pinball.

Will keep it in mind, though!
