I'm using a different Joystick now, but these changes
were on my harddisk for a while and should be in CVS:
replace "squared" by "power 3" (the X8-30 is of rather
bad quality, and the 3 help to avoid jitter). Add
"interval-sec" settings.
Since several people on the list have been asking questions about this Saitek joystick and the comments at the top of this xml file in cvs were wrong and confusing, I am posting this update with the following changes:
1. Removed the confusing/wrong comments.
2. Added throttle bindings for engines 2 thru 7 (required for the b52).
3. Changed the hat axis to rotate the view continuously (required to see the mag switch in the p51d and just a lot nicer with any 3d cockpit).
This last change makes the hat point the line of sight more like moving your head. This is the way the CH pro-yoke-USB is set up.
If you are not used to this set up and you use aircraft with 2d pannels, you will likely need to use shift-nuberpad-8 to get the original forward view once you look arround.
here's the promised patch:
- make throttle work for 8 engines (b52)
- resolve multiple property bindings (simply stating
more than one property per binding doesn't do anything;
this has to be written as two bindings; didn't touch
"Reset View" button in X45, though)
- add $Id$ lines
- adjust step size in "my" joystick file (X8-30) to
work best on a 2.4GHz computer :->
I didn't add entries for propeller related properties, such as mixture, prop-pitch, and I didn't change the boost property. These are still for at most two engines.
