one tool ( RXTools ->FlyFrame ) does use the GPI event - the tool is waiting for a GPI Trigger - pushing firebutton
on joystick port #2 does trigger it.
#1) IFF2CLIP does what i mentioned above about ControlTower - but it fails too,
says "could not open flyer.library" - it actually does find it in libs (snoopdos says so) - but i guess it fails to ignite it in the way it does with the flyer hardware.
#2) unfortunately, there is no FLYERLESS option in the flyer.library source code - but will look for something else :/

It's been a long time since my original Amiga 4000D with Toaster4000 and I was only running VT 3.x. I've been playing with VT 4.2 on my A4000T but it's a lot different than the previous version. VT 3.x was geared more for Live switching and it seems VT 4.2 is more for editing, especially with a Flyer (which I need to install drives on so I can play with that as well).

oh, ok, thanks. in the [Controls] of the effects i can choose an [Effect Color] - but result doesnt change.
good to know it's ment to be black
i've been looking already, but the only sources we have is of 4.2 release. at least what i found so far.
the earlier 3.x version would be a nice addition too. i guess Newtek shiped 3.x on the latest 4.2 toaster iso for a reason
