Ghost Input solution for Logitech X56 Hotas

I was having ghost input issues (like most other people) with the Logitech X56 hotas. I tried using various usb ports on the front and back of my tower. I got a powered usb hub. Still, no joy (get it?)

I finally learned python and wrote up a Joystick Gremlin plugin to mitigate the problem.

It monitors each button press and maps them to a vJoy virtual joystick EXCEPT if more than ~2 buttons are pressed at the same time (within ~50ms of each other). Can configure to taste.

I know getting the hardware/power situation sorted would probably be the best route; but I played ED for around 2 hours, and the plugin had caught and blocked over 300 ghost inputs–didn't notice any negative effect in-game.

YMMV, but just thought I'd share, if this might be useful to anyone who's going through the same thing…
