work for Windows as well. If your joystick/yoke/pedals work out of the box or if you get

problems.

<!--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

|
non-US version of Windows and the joystick .xml files named above do not

contain that special name, just add it on top of the appropriate file in the style of

|
|
<!--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.
