It may need a really wide DOS/Command prompt window to display readable information (if you get scrolling line-broken numbers the window needs to be wider). Use it to verify device name, axis numbering and ranges. Js_demo.exe, if you can find it, is a decent way to get the raw information the operating system gives to FG. this applies to the Saitek / Mad Catz Av8tor joystick). The numbering of the joystick axes (and buttons) can differ between operating systems and also between different manufacturing batches of the same joystick model (e.g. It is also worth noting that even if there is a file with a matching -element shipped with FlightGear it might not yet be perfectly usable on your system. Failing to do this can easily lead you to edit in a file that FlightGear isn't using at all. Hence, one very important thing to check is that exactly the right name is present in one of the -elements in the joystick configuration file you want FlightGear to use. one supplied with the joystick) causes the reported name to change. It is not uncommon that different manufacturing batches of the same joystick model reports different names, and sometimes different joystick drivers (e.g. What you may need to do is adjust the binding/joystick configuration FlightGear uses for it.įlightGear identifies the configuration file based on the name the joystick device reports via the operating system, matching this to one of the -elements in the configuration file. If it is a "normal" USB joystick (which I think it is) it should work fine with FlightGear. Couchflyer Posts: 23 Joined: Sat 11:23 am The function of the pedals is the same whether there is a 'T-Rudder' file in flightgear/inputs/joysticks or not - so I guess the program is reading direct from the usb and not referring to the data files on my computer?. I am using Flightgear 2017.1.2 on Windows 10. Thrustmaster state that the pedals work on flight sims, but does not specify Flightgear so I assume that they must work on Microsoft etc. The file is taken from a post by E F Conrad in the forum and includes the negative signs in left brake and right brakeĪs I said, deleting the negatives has made no difference to my toe brakes. Thanks Couchflyer Posts: 23 Joined: Sat 11:23 am Still I would like to solve this if anyone can let me know what to do. I should say that I only fly small planes on Flightgear. The real need for toe brakes would be for differential braking in a plane that does not have nose wheel steering for taxiing. I see on other pilots forums that in the real world, many pilots will not use toe brakes anyway unless really needed, especially landing a small plane on a long runway as they just roll out as speed naturally decreases. I assume that they mean that the problem has not occurred in other flight simulators.Ĭan anyone tell me what I could do in the xml script as stated by C H Conrad to solve this?Īt present I simply deactivate the toe brakes and have used a button on my Saitek yoke to apply parking brakes intermittently as required. Thrustmaster tell me that the pedals are working fine and it is something to do with Flightgear. Still the brakes are fully applied until the brake pedals are pressed, when the brakes release.so that on take off the brake pedals have to be held hard down which interferes with the pedal steering. I hoped that removing the minus sign from the offset and value lines might reverse the effect but no. I obtained the xml file as mentioned and will edit using notepad++ if I knew what changes to make. I have the T.Flight rudder pedals and yes the toe brakes axis is reversed.
