Re: [Flightgear-users] Remote Joystick use
Hi all, I finally did manage to get some sort of data transfer from a joystick to flightgear through Matlab using Native-Ctrls. I still got some questions remaining. 1. I do see variations in the elevator and ailerons axes in the cockpit of the Cessna, but I don't see these variations reflection in the control surface positions. I checked in the remote browser and none of them get updated. 2. I was wondering if the throttle axes varies from -1 to +1 or from 0 to 1. Right now all the throttle knob does is fluctuate between the two extreme points when I vary the axis on the joystick. 3. I send 0s for all the other properties that I do not want to control. I realize now that it was a bad idea... the aircraft sits frozen (none of the usual JSBsim vibration either) on the runway. I guess I need a way to make flightgear ignore variables I do not want to control. Is there a way to do that?

It's not a generic, all purpose remote joystick reader. It serves as an example, but surely will need to be modified for your particular application.

Can't remember how many axes it transmitted by default, could have been two or four. And you are right, buttons were not implemented yet AFAIR. It's not a generic, all purpose remote joystick reader. It serves as an example, but surely will need to be modified for your particular application. Yep. If someone whats to extend it, no problem. So far, not many people were interested in jsclient/jsserver. But its really simple and small, so it should be easy enough to extend if someone has the need.

[Flightgear-users] Remote Joystick use
Hi all, I want to use a joystick from a remote system to control an aircraft on flightgear. I need the data to be sent to flightgear via UDP. My question is, how do I setup flightgear to receive the commands from a remote joystick? Do I use joy-client or jsclient? Or is native-ctrls a better option? Thanks in advance.

Hi all, Thanks for the quick replies!!! Ehm, I meant the js_server program located in FlightGear/utils/js_server instead. Erik I had read about that in the documentation and wanted to have a go at it... ummm... maybe I'm wrong... but I don't see the utils directory in the windows release of v9.8. Is it used only for linux based systems?
