Edit user control settings (joystick axes)

[bawr]

Hi, I want to make a simple plugin that applies the precision control toggle to joystick input, since I tend to over-steer horribly.

As a starting point, I would like to dynamically edit the "scale" parameter for joystick axes, which is defined in the settings.cfg file:

AXIS_PITCH{
    name = Mad Catz F.L.Y.5 Stick Axis  1
    id = joy0.1
    inv = False
    sensitivity = 2
    deadzone = 0.025
    [B]scale = 1[/B]
    group = 0
    switchState = Any
}

How would I go about changing it in-game? I just need a nudge in the right direction, this will be my first plugin written for KSP.

I know C#, the problem is finding a suitable API to use, specifically.

I'd start by trying to modify the AxisBindings in GameSettings, specifically AXIS_PITCH, AXIS_ROLL, AXIS_YAW, maybe the AXIS_TRANSLATE_*'s, and the axis_Docking_*'s. It's probably that simple. If it's not, the next place I'd be looking is inside the Input class.

Good luck

Thanks, I've managed to find that with Object Explorer. For reference, it's as simple as:

GameSettings.AXIS_PITCH.scale = 0.50F;

In case anyone was ever wishing for something similar, here's a small plugin I made:
