Hi,
some time ago a new version of the joystick configuration file for
Logitech Wingman FF 3D was committed, containing a change to the
throttle-handling.
Shortly after that I couldn't get the engines down to idle. As I
noticed, jsdemo reports that the throttle axis returns +0.3 when on
idle. I'm using Linux on a 2.6.8 kernel.
I thought that plib would calibrate the joystick axes to 0 in the
positions they are in on construction of the plib Joystick object.
However, there is no evidence on this in the plib code.
I had to go back to a previous version of the configuration file and
idling worked again.
Maybe we should have a general calibration utility and load the
resulting data on FlightGear startup. This would also spare us some of
the offset-hacks in joystick configuration files. I don't have time
right now (maybe within a week's time), but if nobody else jumps in I'll
create a tool as soon as I have time.
Best regards,
Ralf
