Hello Erik, What I've done atm is to copy Input/Joysticks/Microsoft/sidedwinder-precision-pro.xml to /Input/Joysticks/Microsoft/swpp.xml (swpp.xml isn't a good name but it was easy to type;) and change the name entry to read "Mircosoft SideWinder Precision Pro" instead of "Microsft SideWinder Precision 2 Joystick" Then I added an entry for the new swpp.xml file in Joysticks.xml Until I added the swpp.xml entry to Joysticks.xml, the file didn't seem to be recognised and used. While doing this isn't exactly a problem, it means I have to change the standard distro files, which I'd rather avoid, hence the desire to add it in via my .fgfsrc. An alternative would be to copy the existing sidewinder-precision-pro.xml to sidewinder-precision-2-joystick.xml, add a corresponding entry to Joysticks.xml for it and then just change the name entry in sidewinder-precision-pro.xml. Then both types of Microsoft Precision Pro joysticks (those that report themselves as "Microsoft SideWinder Precision Pro" as well as those that report themselves as "Microsoft SideWinder Precision 2 Joystick" should work.
