[Flightgear-devel] Microsoft Joystick * the plain one with 8 buttons and throttle

[WillyB]

Hello..

I thought you all might want to add this to the /Input/Joysticks/Microsoft 
directory. It's for Microsoft Joystick, the plain one with 8 buttons and a 
throttle only. It's what I use and I made the new xml file for it from 
editing another file already there.

Also will need to add this to the joysticks.xml in Base dir.

 <js-named include="Input/Joysticks/Microsoft/sidewinder-joystick.xml"/>

(as if ya didn't know that already ;) )

Hope it helps someone in the future
