Hi Alan,
It's a combination of a bug in the Joystick Configuration dialog and a
functional limitation.
You're using a hardcoded a joystick configuration file rather than having
FG pick one up based on the name that your OS assigns to the joystick. The
bug is that the Joystick Configuration dialog doesn't handle this
gracefully.
However, even with the bug fixed, you won't be able to use the Joystick
Configuration dialog as it relies on FG dynamically picking joystick
configuration, so can't work with hardcoded joystick configuration files.
So the "fix" will be to disable the Joystick Configuration dialog in this
instance. I'll make that fix when I get the chance.
If you want to use the Joystick Configuration dialog you'll need to disable
that config file by commenting it out. Then FG will try to pick a
configuration file based on the joystick name, and you'll be able to change
the bindings through the dialog.
If you do go down this route, please do send me any feedback. I'm not sure
very many people have used the dialog yet.
