local changes. People are used to modifying this file, and seem helpless
without it. Further explanations will be added to README.Joystick.html.
The dummy entry is necessary because EasyXML aborts without at least one
entry, and segfaults without <PropertyList> entry.
First, I've attached a copy of the Logitech WingMan Force 3D XML
file "wingman-force-3d.xml" I put together after getting one of
these for Christmas. (It would be nice if the force feedback worked,
but I haven't had time to play with it that much. Come to think about
it I'm not even sure forece feedback works under Linux in general.)
Besides providing the new file I also edited the higher-level
/FlightGear/joysticks.xml file to add the description for this joystick
as follows:
diff -n joysticks.xml_orig joysticks.xml
a22 1
<js-named include="Input/Joysticks/Logitech/wingman-force-3d.xml"/>
I've got nice joystick Logitech WingMan Force and found no file for it
in FG 0.8. If anyone interested, I offer it here. It is based on
Logitech WingMan Extreme configuration, but there are less axes (no
rudder:() and more (9!) buttons (actually, I don't use them all). Hope
it is useful.
with Sidewinder Pro 3d but I do not have a string. Also I do not have the
non-English strings for the USB stick. Note that this config is similar to
the Force feedback stick, except the axes for the rudder and throttle are
different on the Precision 2 USB and Pro 3d sticks.
lot, since otherwise a property that is never set or tied by
FlightGear itself will always be kept as a string and converted on
each access. That's why fgGetBool and friends could take up a lot of
processor time sometimes.
- new external file for joystick configuration
- designed for a basic three-axis, three-button joystick; others will
require some work
** keyboard.xml
- changed back to using index ('n' attribute) to represent key code
- switched to nesting for modifiers, so that they can all appear in
the same declaration
- bound 'b' to brake, but modified so that the brake is released
as soon as the button is
** preferences.xml
- start mixture at 1.0 (full rich), which is most appropriate for
take-off and landing
- commented out old joystick bindings
- added reference to external joysticks.xml file
