[Flightgear-users] Saitek Joystick file

[Donn Washburn]

Hey Group;

Saitek Cyborg EVO Joystick folks. I was looking for a little better trim 
control using the above joystick.  Part of the problem was due to poor 
center zero on the three axis.  I took it apart and found the way they 
brought the wires out of the stick forced the control not to readily 
center.  I repositioned the wires by splitting them (count wise) in 
half.  Then laying them in a non axis direction.  This improved things a 
bunch.  Then I edited (using vim7) the 
/usr/lib/FlightGear/Input/Joystick/Saitek/Cyborg-EVO.xml file.

I added several changes to it which seems to help.  You might save 
original and try this one. It has full up/down flaps (buttons #3 and 4) 
and elevator incremental up/down (button #5 and 6) and plus added rudder 
incremental rudder left/right left > and right <.  Start up with the 
throttle down and "v" until you get a rear view then hit "x" to zoom in 
and Shift "X" to zoom out

It is advised to CAL your stick first after doing the wire change.
jscal (jscal --help), js_demo are good test programs.
