fgjs -- a small program for creating a basic FlightGear joystick configuration fgjs requires plib to be installed on your system. If you've successfully installed and built FlightGear then you should be all set Build instructions At this point, fgjs has only been built and tested under Linux, so the makefile is a simple one. cd into the directory in which the fgjs source resides and type 'make' and, if you are lucky, all will go well. You can e-mail me (apeden@earthlink.net) any changes needed to make it work on other systems. It's quite possible that this program will become part of the regular FlightGear package so Running Set up your joystick and make sure it works with js_demo from the FlightGear distribution. Upon executing fgjs, it will prompt you to move the control you wish to use for elevator, ailerons, etc. Note that when being prompted for an analog control, you can skip the current one by pressing any button and vice-versa when being prompted for a button. You may want to do this if for, as an example, rudder if you have only one joystick or your joystick doesn't have as many analog axes as FlightGear supports. Once you've run with this configuration, you may wish to tune the dead-band a bit (see fgfsrc.js) as the default, 0.02, may be too narrow for your particular hardware/taste. And last, but not least, this thing needs a GUI!!!! Hopefully, the joystick handling code and interface code are separate enough that using that a GUI version could be built using this source as a starting point.
