[Flightgear-users] Joystick Script

[Stephen Miller]

Hi: I'm new to FG (Linux), in need of an xml joystick script. I have an older Flightstick type: 3-axis, 4-button, with a hat, correctly detected by js-demo. The problem is, the hat is not an independent set of switches, but only applies the 4 buttons in various combinations (js_demo does indeed state that it's a 3-axis, 4 button stick). The spec from CH shows the same thing. I need a script that I can patch into xml to do the following:     1) If only one button is actuated, response is per the existing xml file (e.g., this is the simple, obvious response).     2) If more than one switch is actuated, I want to create a new set of definitions, depending on which buttons are in use. This will only happen when using the hat, which I intend to use to change the vertical/horizontal view.     The FlightGear documentation/various joystick files don't seem to address this issue. It should be possible to edit the joystick .xml file to do this, but I could use some help.     Thanks,         SBM
