I have started working on what might one day be a JSBSim helicopter model. I
would like to redefine the joystick axes for just this model as following:
axis 0 - lateral-collective, not aileron
axis 1 - longitudinal-collective, not elevator
axis 2 - collective, not throttle
I don't want to do this redefinition in the \Input\Joysticks\*.xml files for
all the possible joysticks because it would destroy the ability to fly
fixed-wing aircraft, so I'd like to do it locally in the helicopter
configuration. My attempts to slog through this have failed, and a scan of
the archives didn't show anything promising, so I'm asking for a little
help.
I've tried something that looks like this in my GenHel-set.xml file:
<input>
<axis n="0">
<desc>Lateral Cyclic</desc>
<binding>
<command>property-scale</command>
<property>/controls/flight/cyclic-lat</property>
<power type="double">2</power>
</binding>
</axis>
<!-- ...other inputs removed -->
</input>
This doesn't work, and the joystick still changes the aileron value. What am
I doing wrong, and am I actually allowed to do this, or do I have to live
with the definitions that come from the joystick xml files?
Thanks,
Bill
