November 1, 200718 yr Look out for WiiFly! (should appear soon in the FSX Utilities seciton).This uses the Wiimote and optionally the Nunchuk secondary controller. You can control the camera with one hand and the aircraft with the other hand just by tilting the controller. I use the built in acceleration sensors to determine the tilt.You will need Bluetooth hardware in your PC (most laptops have it nowadays) and a working Bluetooth stack.The Wiimote and Nunchuk provide 6 analog axes and up to 20 buttons can be mapped (by using the B trigger as a "shift" key). The app also works without the Nunchuk attached.For prerequisites and installation instructions please see the included README.txt fileThe only change that you may want to make in the FSX control axes configuration is to map the view L/R axis to the "X rotation" axis of the virtual joystick and the view U/D axis to the "Y rotation" axis of the virtual joystick driver.The WiiFly! application hides nicely in the task tray by the way.For those of you who own a Wii (and a bluetooth capable PC). Try it! It's not Wii Sports, but it's fun!
