Update: There is a newer version of UJR called UCR and it allowed me to completely customize everything. Everything works now! If someone is having a problem with HOTAS controls, use UCR. I mapped all of my axis to VJoy and then all of the buttons to the keyboard keys corresponding to the functions that I wanted in KSP. Creating an Excel file with the buttons mapped will also help tremendously!

Hello, I recently purchased the Logitech X-56 HOTAS throttle and stick but I’m having a tough time mapping the buttons. So pretty much, I’ve done my research and installed the VJoy program as well as UJR and that fixed the infamous axis lag so those controls work wonderfully. I would like to map as many of the buttons as possible and there are over 50 of them between both throttle and stick controllers. I read that KSP only supports up to 20 buttons and disregards the other ones with higher numbers. I also read that there was a mod called fly by wire for older KSP versions; I tried it but that doesn’t make any difference. I could deal with only having 20 buttons to map, but the way that Kerbal handles multiple controllers makes that impossible as well. It reads both physical controllers and the virtual controller as a single unit and I have no idea how to combat this issue. I’m thinking that maybe setting everything up in terms of the virtual controller and then deleting the physical controller names in the settings cfg files and making that read only might help. I’m at work at the moment so I will try that when I get home. Do any of you KSP pros have any other suggestions?

Sure, I used compressible flow as well as heat transfer equations: ISP: 815s T_core: 3150K T_propellant: 2600K V_flow: 510 L/s Thrust: 3000 kN The propellant is hydrogen seeded with krypton. I modified the stock liquid fuel to give me the correct mass: 0.735kg/L please let me know what other information you need.

Hello, I am working on a senior design project for school which is the development of an air and space thermal rocket engine with turbo jet. The Nuclear Turbojet in KSP Interstellar has the same capabilities that I'm looking for and I have already changed the way it looks. Right now, I'm trying to change the cfg file so that it's fuel consumption rate matches that of my calculations, however, I cannot seem to find where to change this. I am able to get the desired thrust and changing the amount of fuel consumption is the final step in what I need to do to get this to work properly. The challenge with this is that this engine uses two types of fuel: air and liquid fuel. So it is difficult to isolate the parameters that affect only the air operation and only the rocket operation. The cfg code for this engine is shown below. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
