Does this work with Future Pinball?  Very nice job on this.

Thanks for posting this! I finally have a working plunger in my cab, and it was less than $100 for all the parts including shipping. At first vpx wasn't detecting the movement but then I used the settings from that Google doc.

Is the mouse plunger still working with latest vpx? updated to 10.7 and mine doesn't work any more.

I just used this in my now 13 year old mini pin cabinet  using a metal bracket as a platform zip ties as spacers to give the mouse some clearance from the plate and a strip of cardboard on the plunger software worked out of the box thanks Nailbuster!!   fellow canuck pinballer here.   has made it feel real.  Now i need some analog nudge sensing for "Cheap" any suggestions?

Hello everyone, especially NailBuster!
I know this is an old topic, but I hope someone can help.
For me this program is great because I don't have to spend virtually any "see little" money on an analog Plunger!
For me it works perfectly with VPX Visual Pinball X, with the latest vJoy, under Win10.
The only problem I have is how to set up Future Pinball?
I have absolutely no idea...
Please help.

Edit:

I already know.
It works in Future Pinball but you need to change the system language to British English.

Regards.

I was using a computer with win 7 x64 and had no issues with mouse plunger.

Now after I upgraded my computer and installed win 10 x64, the keycode 13 (enter) is not working for non-plunger tables.

 

Is there anything I can do to check what's going on here?

 

EDIT: it seems it does not work with GL version, I played today with DX9 version and it worked again.

 

Crazy, after some new stuff here and there, enter key stopped again to work in any version, analog plunger works fine.

 

Finally found the issue, the executable visual pinball name must be VpinballX.exe, but it does not work on GL version the same way (only analog plunger works with GL), but everything is working fine in DX9 x64 version.

 

​

Is the mouse plunger still working with latest vpx? updated to 10.7 and mine doesn't work any more. 

 

check if its direct input in vpx key settings and vpinball executable name, if that didn't fix, reinstall vjoy.

Has anyone been able to get both a Microsoft sidewinder (accelerometer/analog nudge) and mouse plunger (vJoy/plunger) working at the same time on their cab? Both work great independently, but cant get both to work at the same time. When both are plugged in only the sidewinder (nudge) registers, VPX doesnt recognize vJoy/mouse plunger. I tried to assign the sidewinder as preferred device to use with older programs and vice/versa with vJoy but no dice.

Looks like RC5 fixed my issue. Pretty awesome stuff!
