Vibration triggered by buttons (fire primary / secondary) - is that possible?

[romandesign]

I couldn't find such an example in the config. Is it possible to emulate stick shaking on firing primary/secondary weapons? This could be done either by detecting an in-game event or, if not possible, by detecting a joystick button presses.
Is there a list of all possible events? There could be others, like exploding enemies, damage to own ship, etc.

My other project EliteJoystick sort of works like this. That project listens for input from the joysticks and replays those inputs on virtual joysticks. I have intercepted a lot of the inputs and combine or change them to perform different actions. It's like the Thrustmaster software but for all inputs (events, game state, USB input, etc). I still use the game events to play forces because I use the fire buttons to navigate menus, sell goods, etc. It gets annoying to have the joystick move around when trying to select something (or when you are trying to aim at something very far away).

As far as I know, there is not an Elite event that is issued when the commander fires a weapon.

The log output of the EDForceFeedback program shows all of the events it has received. You can use the output to identify the events that you want to add to the config file.

Hi, it would be great to have this functionality in EDForceFeedback and to get around the annoyance, it could be event-dependent. I.e., when not docked and not landed, and hardpoints are open (or just when hardpoints are open), then the triggers would vibrate for primary and secondary weapons. Otherwise they won't - i.e. when selecting the menus or trading or navigating maps etc. That would really increase the immersion.
