Hi I'm usually a linux user who is new to flightgear. I'm trying to get flightgear up and running on a windows xp laptop and have a problem with the "joystick".
I'm using a usb joystick that is styled round a 4 channel radio control transmitter on the b105 eurocopter. (It came with an awful flight simulator.) As far as I am aware these function in the same fashion as a real rc transmitter with a usb lead plugged in. There are two sticks. The right stick controls the plain of the main rotor and the left stick the throttle and the tail rotor. The throttle would normally be mixed into the pitch control as well. All function apart from the tail rotor control. I can't use fgjs that effectively because there aren't any buttons on this joystick. I have found a file that assigns the "rudder" correctly to axis 3 but it doesn't control the helicopter tail rotor where ever I put it called either js0 or joystick. js_demo shows all axis working. Throttle on 2, main rotor on 0 and 1 and picks up axis 3 moving too. Windows recognises the joystic and assigns axis 3 to Y rotate and the throttle to the z axis. The other stick moves the cross about in the box. None of the controls alter the X rotate. Any clues or preferably instructions -just what do I need to do? -- Regards John ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
