Profile editor: - Cockpit-style encoder gauges centered over the Upper Middle MFD: Z left, X/Y right, and L/R/Rz arranged as a big "U". - [JoyStick] section surfaced as a vertical "Axis" toggle column (6 inverts + ZR mix), written back to the profile's calibration. - Tighten the panel layout (close gaps, trim empty border columns); colour the Secondary/Screen columns yellow; rename the "Joystick / Hat" board to "Joystick"; add an "Import .ini..." tray entry. - "RIO commands (live)" button group (all RioCommandCodes) fired at the live RIO. Serial-port handling: - Start dormant; only take the COM port for a profiled game (auto-switch) or while editing, so the native games can open the port without clashing. - Editor sessions hold the port but route keyboard/mouse/joystick to no-op sinks (NullInputSink), so button function can be checked without injecting input; RioRuntime.ButtonActivity drives a live cyan press indicator and lamp feedback still applies. - AutoSwitchWatcher.Reset() re-syncs the watcher after an editor session.

RIOJoy
Modern Windows 10/11 interface between the cockpit RIO (Remote Input/Output) board and Windows, as a virtual joystick / keyboard / mouse — the successor to the legacy vJoy-based app, with no vJoy dependency.
The RIO has 72 digital inputs and outputs (lighted buttons) and 5 analog axes (joystick X/Y, throttle, left pedal, right pedal), connected over RS-232 at 9600 8N1. RIOJoy exposes these to games that don't natively know about the cockpit hardware, with per-game profiles. (The native games — Firestorm, Red Planet — talk to the RIO directly and do not use this app.)

Building
Requires the .NET 8 SDK and Windows. The driver builds separately with the
WDK (see driver/README.md).
dotnet build RioJoy.sln -c Release
dotnet test RioJoy.sln
Status
Phases 1–5 are implemented and tested (136 unit tests). The RioGamepad virtual
HID driver is built (KMDF + VHF), test-signed, installed, and verified: it
enumerates in joy.cpl, and the C# HID feeder (DeviceIoControl →
RioGamepad.sys) drives its axes, buttons, and hat end-to-end (see
tools/RioJoySmokeTest). The C# side covers the serial
- RIO protocol core, input mapping + output routing, axis calibration + plasma
display, the tray app + profiles (JSON config,
RIO.iniimporter, three-state auto-switch), and the HID report packer that matches the driver's wire format. Remaining work is on-cabinet (real RIO serial/axis/plasma/auto-switch verification) plus packaging (Phase 6) and the profile editor + overlay generator (Phase 7). Seedocs/PLAN.mdfor the full roadmap.
