AIM Ghost Joysticks

The AIM Ghost Joysticks are the virtual joystick devices the AIM Cockpit Manager creates for Falcon BMS. Each one carries up to 128 buttons, far past what joy.cpl can show, which is the main reason this tool exists.

Full 128-button map

Select an AIM Ghost Joystick in the sidebar and you'll see all 128 buttons and its 8 axes, live. The axes are named the way Windows names them: X Axis, Y Axis, Z Axis, X / Y / Z Rotation, then Dial and Slider for the seventh and eighth.

Button → cockpit control

Hover any button and AIM Joystick Probe tells you which F-16C cockpit control it maps to, for example Button 1: FIRE & OHEAT. The same label appears next to the last pressed readout when you press it.

Button control-name tooltip

This makes it easy to confirm a panel control is reaching the right virtual button before you bind it in BMS.

The labels come from the AIM Cockpit Manager F-16C catalog. Buttons that aren't mapped to a control just show their number.
