Hi all,
Inspired by the recent linux tag meeting, I decided to see whether I could
overhaul the Saitek Pro Flight Yoke configuration. Although just started, I
incorporated two changes: First, the view change button operates in a more
standard fashion now (cycling through all the views, instead of just the first
four). Secondly, I added a simple thrust reverser. This joysticks throttle
lever can be pushed back beyond the full idle setting, at which point it
triggers a button. I configured this button to engage the thrust reversers and
throttle up to full on all engines. I'm not sure whether this is the best way
to implement this for this particular joystick, but some testing, using the
MD-81 and 777-200ER suggests to me that it feels right to engage the thrust
reversers this way. If you have this Joystick, please have a look and let me
know what you think of it.
Also, there are still quite a few buttons on this stick unassigned, and I have
a gut feeling that we may take advantage of the mode select wheel on this
stick a little. Suggestions are welcome.
Cheers,
Durk
