I'd be interested in some kind of fuse-like driver that would let me make fake joystick drivers in any language in userspace. Then I could borrow CRCSim's sound-card mic input code and allow my RC radio to appear (via a buddy cord) as a standard joystick to any program, X-Plane, or some other random simulation. I think, though, that the only viable solution for you is to hack the driver to treat the hats as switches. X-Plane is very cool, and Austin is good at many things. But it's a shame he doesn't recognize the community for what it is, as far as source and development goes. I get the feeling most of the development is being done by people other than Austin these days, pretty much for free, from what I can tell. Maybe someday we can build a finite-element analysis flight physics engine for FlightGear... > /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
