Hello Foxster, first of all thank you for this app, I think this is a more intuitive alternative to VA. I'm trying BMS with it, and I have a weird bug that makes FoxVox to crash when I use the axis slider on my throttle to control the FOV/Zoom in BMS. I'm not sure how I can debug this. I can reproduce it tho.

Thanks for your help.

I'll look into it. Can you explain how you are settling it up so I can duplicate it?

In fact, no need for BMS, axis movement makes FoxVox UI sluggish and almost unresponsive. I'm using a Virpil CM3 Throttle and Constellation Alpha Stick. If I move the foxvox window while moving the axis, it does that. And randomely makes my usb device crash (I heard unplug/plug usb sound). And in the Even viewer I have an APPCRASH for FoxVox

Repro case : I open fox vox, move my axis all around for a few seconds, foxvox crash and my usb devices reboot. If I'm not opening FoxVox and do the same thing, nothing happens. Weird stuff.

This sounds like an issue with output overload which happens when every tiny movement of the analog stick causes the output to fire, which can quickly overwhelm the system.  If you remove/disable the slider binding does everything else work OK?  It would be good to narrow down the culprit.  Also, just to check, does the system bog down or have any problem when you move the axis while the Key Recognition is disabled (keyboard button second to last in the toolbar)?

Hello, no, I found it's actually not the slider but all my Virpil Hotas Axis. I have another device with axis, a simgears ICP and and this one is not affected. And the key recognition is not enabled.

Interesting.  The key recognition disabled rules out output overload.  Are you running any virpil control software at the same time?  Without key recognition running FoxVox is only passively monitoring input which shouldn't cause any lag.

I cannot make it crash again (I move my hotas to other usb ports. But the Foxvox window is still freezing for a few seconds after I use any of my axis, and in game it creates some lag when I'm using fov zoom. I did not have the same behavior when using VA for example. And my control software was not running. It's like the app is reading input like crazy.

Ok, that is helpful information and I will take a look into performance with the next upcoming release.

Let me know if the latest v2.4.0.2 makes any difference.  Hopefully it helps!

Hello, thanks for your update. Unfortunately I don't notice any change regarding this issue...
