Re: [Flightgear-users] Joystick hat switch & new scenery (not related)

[Glenn McCord]

js_demo shows me that my hat switch is axis 4 and 5 and I have exactly 
the same entries in the joystick file as everyone else has. I'm 
wondering if my problem is with the .fgfsrc file of which I have an 
entry for all axis except 4 & 5. If I delete this file I loose my 
throttle and yaw though.
js_demo says: Joystick 0: "Microsoft Microsoft SideWinder Precision Pro 
(USB)" so surely Flightgear is looking at the sidewinder-precision-pro.xml

Dare I ask, but how do I use separate scenery besides the default. The 
only command line options I see are:
--fg-root=path: Tells FlightGear where to look for its root data files 
if you didn't compile it with the default settings.
--fg-scenery=path: Allows specification of a path to the base scenery 
path , in case scenery is not at the default position under

But these aren't specific enough?

I've extracted the file I got from the world map and copied it to the 
Scenery folder so that:

w080n40  w130n30
Thanks

Gidday. I've been trying to configure my Sidewinder Joystick's hat 
switch so it can be used to look left, right etc, like SHIFT+(num pad) 
does. I've been trying to decipher the keyboard and sidewinder configs 
but I can't find what I need

Also, how do I get new scenery to show me something besides water? I've 
tried --fg-scenery=/home/glenn/games/flightgearstuff/ where I had only 
one scenery folder that I'd download from the map on the flightgear 
site. I've even tried replacing the default scenery inside 
/usr/local/lib/Flightgear/data/Scenery with some other scenery but I 
still get just water. (No I didn't download the ocean).

Thanks for any help.

   

Hi,

I assume you have your stick working for the other axis
I am running on RH linux.
Here are my settings for my Sidewinder coolie hat axis:
These give you a gradual change of view right and left pluss up and
down. Not quite like the shift numpad, only better I think..
<axis n="4">
  <desc>View Direction</desc>
  <low>
   <repeatable>true</repeatable>
   <binding>
    <command>property-adjust</command>
    <property>/sim/current-view/goal-heading-offset-deg</property>
    <step type="double">1.0</step>
   </binding>
  </low>
  <high>
   <repeatable>true</repeatable>
   <binding>
    <command>property-adjust</command>
    <property>/sim/current-view/goal-heading-offset-deg</property>
    <step type="double">-1.0</step>
   </binding>
  </high>
 </axis>
                                                                               
 <axis n="5">
  <desc>View Elevation</desc>
  <low>
   <repeatable>true</repeatable>
   <binding>
    <command>property-adjust</command>
    <property>/sim/current-view/goal-pitch-offset-deg</property>
    <step type="double">1.0</step>
   </binding>
  </low>
  <high>
   <repeatable>true</repeatable>
   <binding>
    <command>property-adjust</command>
    <property>/sim/current-view/goal-pitch-offset-deg</property>
    <step type="double">-1.0</step>
   </binding>
  </high>
 </axis>

For the Scenery you could unpack the downloaded packets in your normal
Scenery folder, but don't replace the exising.
Inside the Scenery folder you should have other folders containing each 
10X10 degre chunk.

My Scenery folder look like this:
Scenery]$ ls
CVS      e000n50  e010n50  e010n70  e020n70  w010n50  w130n30
e000n40  e000n60  e010n60  e020n60  e030n70  w120n30  w130n40
and each of these folders should contain new "per degree folders"

Hope you see the picture.
Good luck.
Cheers
