Hi,
Flightgear has a file called joysticks.xml that references the
individual jsX.xml files that should be read and processed. I tend to
hand-edit these, but that requires some googling and/or experience.
Many joysticks have pre-defined xml files bundled with FG at
Input/Joystick/<manufacturer>/<product>.xml. If your stick is one of
those, then the easiest option by far would be to change joysticks.xml
to contain something like this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<PropertyList>
<js-named include="Input/Joysticks/Saitek/Aviator.xml"/>
</PropertyList>
(Replace the path with the one appropriate for your joystick)
If this does not work for you because your stick is not listed, then you
can also look at joysticks.xml to see where js[0].xml would be located,
and then edit that. Inside you should find all of your axes and buttons
listed, with appropriate mappings.
If you send over this file, I can take a look at it to see if I can spot
any obvious problems. What stick have you got?
Cheers,
Vik
