Customizable joystick input viewer for verifying joystick quality and seeing the joystick position history immediately surrounding a jump input.


DESCRIPTION

This plugin takes the basic functionality of the Joystick Self-Check plugin by @AlpacaFlightSim and adds a ton of customization options and some new features.

Input History after Jump:

When practicing/performing complex flip cancel moves it can be useful to see why something worked or didn't work.

This plugin can store a variable number of joystick input values before and after each jump input and then display them, so you can see why a flip cancel or other move did or didn't work.

Customizability:

This plugin features extensive customizability:

  • Adjust size and location of view
  • Adjust size of icons indicating each joystick position coordinate
  • Adjust size of lines connecting the icons
  • Adjust color of the outer box
  • Adjust color of first and last input for each view (normal, pre-jump input, and post-jump input). Intermediate inputs have their color mapped linearly forming a nice gradient.
    • Note you can also adjust the alpha channel in the color picker for more options
  • Adjust length of the input trail
  • Adjust how long the input history display is frozen after a jump input
  • Customize what modes it shows up in (freeplay/custom training, local match, online match)

    • Also adds features and customizability to the original JoystickSelfCheck by @AlpacaFlightSim
    • I created my plugin before realizing this one existed.
    • @Brotzeitsepp's features additional options for showing aerial sensitivity adjustments and deadzone highlighting, however it does not feature a freeze-frame when a jump occurs and lacks some customizability like line size and gradient display options
