Hi List.

I lastly bought me a Pro Flight Yoke and now have some strange effect without 
any explenation.
When flying the aircraft tends to go slightly up and to the left. I have taken 
two screenshots, showing that all values (I'm aware of), like aileron, 
elevator, trim etc. are 0, so it's not the dead-band of the stick.
See http://www.o-schroeder.de/fg_server/fgfs-screen-001.jpg
On the other hand I have to considerably set aileron and elevator trim in 
order to get  a nearly normal flight behavior. See 
http://www.o-schroeder.de/fg_server/fgfs-screen-002.jpg

I surely miss something but am a bit lost where to look. Any ideas?

While looking how to eliminate the dead-band I noticed that fgjs is broken, it 
looks into "/usr/local/share/FlightGear/Input/Joysticks/template.xml" instead 
of "/usr/local/share/FlightGear/data/Input/Joysticks/template.xml". If I set 
FG_ROOT to "/usr/local/share/FlightGear/data/" it possibly works, but fails 
at another point: The yoke has a "mode selector" represented as a wheen with 
three fix snap points. Each snap point is implemented as a button, so there 
is always one button "pressed" (and fgfs interprets it as "ignore current, go 
to next).

Cheers,
Oliver
