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.
