<!-- l. 686 --> < p class = "noindent" > The first one concerns users of non-US Windows versions. As stated above,
you can get the name of the joystick from the program js< span class = "underline" > < / span > demo. If you have a

<!-- l. 695 --> < p class = "indent" > Unfortunately, there is one more loophole with Windows joystick support. In case
you have two USB devices attached (for instance a yoke plus pedals), there may be
cases, where the same driver name is reported twice. In this case, you can get
at least the yoke to work by assigning it number 0 (out of 0 and 1). For this
purpose, rotate the yoke (aileron control) and observe the output of js< span class = "underline" > < / span > demo. If
figures in the first group of colons (for device 0) change, assignment is correct. If
figures in the second group of colons (for device 1) change, you have to make
the yoke the preferred device first. For doing so, enter the Windows ” Control
panel” , open ” Game controllers” and select the ” Advanced” button. Here you
can select the yoke as the ” Preferred” device. Afterward you can check that
assignment by running js< span class = "underline" > < / span > demo again. The yoke should now control the first group of
figures.
<!-- l. 710 --> < p class = "indent" > Unfortunately, we did not find a way to get the pedals to work, too, that way. Thus, in
cases like this one (and others) you may want to try an alternative method of assigning
joystick controls.

In the first column, you will find the name of the aircraft, the second one tells the start

and the last column includes some remarks. Here, ” no exterior model” means, that there
is no aircraft specific external model provided with the base package. As a result, you
will see the default blue-yellow glider, when you change to the external view. However,
you can download external views for these models from Wolfram Kuss’ site
