F3COOLIE for FALCON 3.0 version 3.02.1
By: Ken "Stinger" Richardson
UID: [70761,301]
F321COOL is a Terminate and Stay Resident (TSR) program that will
work with the ThrustMaster FCS allowing you to program the "Coolie Hat" and
Buttons 3 and 4 to any keystroke on the keyboard, (including SHFT/CTRL/ALT
keys). You can also program "double-click" funtions to any button or hat
position. For example: By default the Hat is programmed to switch between
forward, back, right and left views depending on what direction you push it.
If you push the Hat up twice, it will switch to Padlock view.
To program your FCS, I supplied a small program called PGM-F321.COM. This
program will ask you to press which keystroke you want for each Hat position
and Button. After you make your keystroke selections, it will write a file
named F321COOL.CFG. This file must be in the same directory as F321COOL.COM
when you load it. If F321COOL can't find the F321COOL.CFG file, it assumes
you want to use the defaults.
No modification is required to the Falcon program. Simply run the F321COOL
program, or use LOADHIGH to load it into high memory. The first step is to
calibrate your Coolie Hat. Just follow the on-screen instructions, this only
takes a few seconds. Next F321COOL will check to see if the F321COOL.CFG file
is available, if so it will program the Hat and Buttons. After F321COOL is
loaded it will automatically check to see if Falcon is running. If Falcon is
running it will automatically "attach" itself. If Falcon is not running, it
will simply lay dormant in memory until it senses Falcon. To Uninstall
F321COOL, just execute the F321COOL.COM program a second time. This will
remove the TSR from memory. One other thing you should do is select JOYSTICK
from the CONFIG screen instead of THRUSTMASTER. Also, answer NO when you are
asked if you wish to calibrate external throttle during joystick calibration.
F321COOL also has a feature that will allow you to remap your COM3 and COM4
ports to COM1 and COM2 respectively. This will allow people to connect with
Falcon, in one of the communications modes, using COM3 or COM4. To enable the
COM port remap feature, add the /3 or /4 switch after typing F321COOL. For
example: Type F321COOL /3 to remap COM3 to COM1
or F321COOL /4 to remap COM4 to COM2
This utility is not supported by Spectrum Holobyte in any way so if
you experience any problems contact me via Compuserve EMail or the MODEMGAMES
forum on Compuserve (GO MODEMGAMES).
