Ah, I see. So I think its possible needed with FreeBSD too.

Nope, I didnt thought you aren't beleieving me, but fgfs and fgjs
/could/ have been a typo. So I just wanted to be sure. This wasn't meant
to be rude or something like this. Maybe I missunderstood you a bit, as
my english ist not the best. ;)

Perhaps there is a way to achieve this, but none I'm aware of.
Currently I'm installing the linux-joystick support.
jstest --normal /dev/input/js0 gives may values between 0 and 4094,
correctly mapped to the axis-movement. Is there a way to force fgfs to
use a specific stick? Perhaps /dev/input/js0 instead of uhid0
I ran jscal too, so now my stick should be calibrated. Doesn't work in
fgfs better now, but its calibrated.

lol ;=) Joystick support should be the same, shouldnt it?

Here it says:
[snipped all the different joysticks]
Looking for bindings for joystick "Saitek Saitek X45 Flight Control Stick"
... found joystick:
/usr/X11R6/share/FlightGear/Input/Joysticks/Saitek/X45.xml
Initializing joystick 2
Using the property browser i wasn't successful as my path was too long
(seems to be limited to 80 chars).
