Detailed Description

This class manages joystick input for rotary-wing aircraft and converts it into appropriate control surface movements. It handles various input devices and maps their values to helicopter control outputs, providing a bridge between the physical joystick and the helicopter flight model.

References DtVreRlJoyController().

Member Function Documentation

◆ init()

virtual bool RlCgfVrf::DtVreRlJoyController::init ( )

overridevirtual

Initializes the joystick controller.

Returns: True if initialization was successful

Performs initial setup of the joystick controller, including configuration loading and port initialization.

Reimplemented from makVre::DtRotaryWingJoyFlightController.

◆ tick()

virtual void RlCgfVrf::DtVreRlJoyController::tick ( )

overridevirtual

Performs per-frame processing.

Called once per simulation frame to calculate new control values based on current joystick input and update the output ports.

◆ createPorts()

virtual bool RlCgfVrf::DtVreRlJoyController::createPorts ( )

overridevirtual

Creates component ports.

Returns: True if port creation was successful

Creates output ports for cyclic, collective, pedals, and other helicopter controls.

◆ calcAndSetPortValues()

virtual void RlCgfVrf::DtVreRlJoyController::calcAndSetPortValues	(	const DtString &	functionGroup,
		const DtString &	function,
		double	value,
		bool	repeat )

overridevirtual

Calculates and sets port values for a specific joystick function.

Parameters

functionGroup	The function group of the joystick input
function	The specific function within the group
value	The input value from the joystick
repeat	Whether this is a repeated input

Maps joystick inputs to the appropriate helicopter control outputs.

Reimplemented from makVre::DtRotaryWingJoyFlightController.

◆ type()

virtual const char * RlCgfVrf::DtVreRlJoyController::type ( ) const

overridevirtual

Gets the component type.

Returns: The type string for this component

Returns TS_JoyController as the component type identifier.

Reimplemented from makVre::DtRotaryWingJoyFlightController.

◆ joystickEnabledPort()

virtual DtBooleanOutputPort * RlCgfVrf::DtVreRlJoyController::joystickEnabledPort ( )

virtual

Gets the joystick enabled output port.

Returns: Pointer to the joystick enabled output port

Returns the output port that indicates whether joystick control is enabled.

◆ disable()

virtual void RlCgfVrf::DtVreRlJoyController::disable ( )

overridevirtual

Disables the joystick controller.

Disables joystick input processing, usually when player control is deactivated.

Reimplemented from vreRtd::DtVreRtdTraitJoyControllerExtension.

◆ enable()

virtual void RlCgfVrf::DtVreRlJoyController::enable ( )

overridevirtual

Enables the joystick controller.

Enables joystick input processing, usually when player control is activated.

Reimplemented from vreRtd::DtVreRtdTraitJoyControllerExtension.

◆ setIsEnabled()

virtual void RlCgfVrf::DtVreRlJoyController::setIsEnabled ( bool yes )

overridevirtual

Sets the enabled state of the joystick controller.

Parameters

yes	True to enable the controller, false to disable

Directly sets the enabled state of the joystick controller.

Reimplemented from vreRtd::DtVreRtdTraitJoyControllerExtension.

◆ creator()

static DtSimComponent * RlCgfVrf::DtVreRlJoyController::creator	(	const DtString &	name,
		DtLocalObject *	owner,
		DtSimulationServices *	simManager,
		DtComponentDescriptor *	desc = 0,
		DtReaderWriterRegistry *	parentRegistry = 0 )

static

Component factory function.

Parameters

name	The name for the new component
owner	The local object the component will belong to
simManager	The simulation services manager
desc	Component descriptor containing configuration
parentRegistry	Parent registry for reader/writer functionality

Returns: Pointer to the newly created component

Static factory function used for component creation through the component registry.

◆ operator=()

DtVreRlJoyController & RlCgfVrf::DtVreRlJoyController::operator= ( const DtVreRlJoyController & orig )

private

Assignment operator (not implemented)

Parameters

orig	The source object

Returns: Reference to this object

Member Data Documentation

◆ myDesc

const DtVreRlJoyControllerDescriptor* RlCgfVrf::DtVreRlJoyController::myDesc

private

Component descriptor containing configuration parameters.

◆ myWheelBrakeOutputPort

DtAnalogOutputPort* RlCgfVrf::DtVreRlJoyController::myWheelBrakeOutputPort

private

Output port for wheel brake control.

◆ myPedalOutputPort

DtAnalogOutputPort* RlCgfVrf::DtVreRlJoyController::myPedalOutputPort

private

Output port for pedal control (yaw)
