This is now checked in as the new Joystick Configuration item under the Help menu, which replaces the Joystick Information dialog. This dialog allows you to see what each of your axes and buttons do, plus reconfigure your joystick in-sim with immediate feedback. Updated joystick configuration files are written on-the-fly to $FG_HOME/Input/Joystick/, which is now read from by FG when the Input Subsystem is reloaded. The dialog re-loads the input, so your changes take effect immediately. If you have some more complicated bindings, you should be able to retain them by selecting "Custom" from the axis or button selector, but this has had limited testing, and I suspect needs a bit more work to become robust. I've also got a bit more work to do adding instructions, and possibly a deadband option, but the function is basically complete. Feedback is welcome as always. I've intentionally limited the set of axes and buttons that can be configured to avoid over-loading new users. If you feel there are important bindings missing, please let me know. -Stuart ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
