PPJoyZ800 is a program that works in conjunction with PPJoy to provide joystick emulation for the
Emagin Z800 virtual reality headset. This allows the Z800 6DOF tracker to be used in any game that
supports a joystick, including Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004, Flight Simulator X and Live for Speed.
PPJoyZ800
Download PPJoy by clicking on the link below, and follow the instructions for installation and
adding a virtual joystick. Once you have this installed, download and install PPJoyZ800 from the
link below and run the program in the background. This program will pass the tracking
information from the Z800 to the virtual joystick.
Note: You must unload the Emagin utility while you are running PPJoyZ800. You
can re-load it again once you exit PPJoyZ800.
To center the head-tracker while playing, you will need to press 'F5'. This is the default, but can
be reconfigured in the settings dialog.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or feedback.
