Bindings for THRUSTMASTER Top Gun Afterburner stick/throttle combination.

This file is based on the Cyborg-Gold-3d-USB configuration file. So it provides
maximum compatibility.

F3 and F4 are used like "Shift", "Control", or "Alternate" on computer keyboards.
For example: press F3 and keep holding it down while pressing the fire
button/trigger -> toggle parking brake

Also this configurations will make use of the raster positions on the throttle.
The idle position and below is really zero thrust command.
Positions bewteen idle and afterburner will scale the thrust value between 0 and 0.98
and thus provides military power for jet engines. The afterburner raster will
really turn on afterburning.

Also to avoid additional deadband values in the linux kernel
to the deadband values configured here in flightgear.
You may need to issue the following command before starting flightgear:

jscal -s 7,1,0,-5,5,4194304,4194304,1,0,-5,5,4194304,4194304,1,0,-5,5,4194304,4194304,1,0,128,128,4194304,4194304,1,0,112,142,5534751,5534751,1,0,0,0,536870912,536870912,1,0,0,0,536870912,536870912 /dev/input/js0

This will also avoid the useless deadband area in the middle of the throttle position.
Also this will make the raster positions of the throttle match the programmed values here.

If you want to change some (or all) of the bindings, the recommended way is
to copy this file to your home directory, make your changes there, and include
it from your personal preferences.xml file. Use the tags <js-named n="100">
and </js-named> around the definitions, but within the <PropertyList> scope.
(You can use any number lower than 999.)

<PropertyList>
	<input>
		<joysticks include="your-modified-copy.xml"/>
	</input>
</PropertyList>


The property "/input/joysticks/js[0]/saitek-cyborg-3D-modifier" indicates
the "shift" level. F3 sets bit 0, F4 sets bit 1. The property is 'nil' or
zero if none of the shift buttons is pressed, 1 if F3 is pressed, 2 if F4
is pressed, and 3 if both F3 and F4 are pressed.

Note that you have to enclose nasal scripts in <script><![CDATA[...]]></script>
if they contain characters that interfere with the xml markup. This is the case
if you are, for exmaple, using < (lower than). Alternatively, you can 'escape'
the character with "&lt;".
