vJoy Setup Guides by Game

vJoy does its best work inside a specific game: merging a HOTAS for a flight simulator, feeding a phone-wheel axis into a truck simulator, carrying a DIY handbrake into a racing game, or giving twin sticks one tidy virtual layout for space flight. This hub collects our per-game setup guides. Each one explains what vJoy actually does for that title, which build and feeder you need, the setup in numbered steps, binding tips, and the limitations — stated plainly, including the games where vJoy is not required at all.

New here? Install the driver first from our download page, then pick your game below. Feeder applications do the mapping work in most of these guides, so the tools and feeders hub is the companion page to keep open while you set up.

Flight and space simulators

vJoy for DCS World — Merge stick, throttle and pedals into one virtual device with Joystick Gremlin curves.

vJoy for Star Citizen — The community HOSAS stack: vJoy plus Joystick Gremlin plus HidHide, with the device-mapping notes players miss.

vJoy for Microsoft Flight Simulator — Extra axes and buttons for MSFS 2020 and 2024 — and how to handle every device being named vJoy Device.

vJoy for Elite Dangerous — Merge a HOTAS with Gremlin, shape curves, and keep duplicate input out of the cockpit.

Truck simulators

vJoy for Euro Truck Simulator 2 — Native mouse steering needs no vJoy — here is when vJoy actually helps: phone wheels, FreePIE and extra axes.

vJoy for American Truck Simulator — The same honest mouse-steering picture as ETS2, with a step-by-step FreePIE virtual-steering build.

Racing, warbirds and controllers

vJoy for Assetto Corsa — DIY handbrake, extra axes and button boxes presented as one tidy virtual device.

vJoy for IL-2 Sturmovik — Beat the device limit by merging controls, with head tracking through the OpenTrack chain.

GameCube Controller via vJoy — Adapter plus feeder reality: what works, what does not, and honest latency notes.

Before any game setup, make sure the driver itself is healthy: the download page covers the three verified builds and which one fits your version of Windows, and the tools hub explains Gremlin, UCR, FreePIE, HidHide and the other feeders these guides rely on.
