I have a Logitech Wingman Force 3D and, while it is a USB-based joystick, it still requires calibration. I am running Gentoo Linux and I don't seem to have joycal or jscal (the command-line calibration utilities). I do have joystick-calibrator (the Gnome based app using libjsw) but when I use that, the calibration settings to not affect FlightGear.So my question is how then do I calibrate my joystick for FlightGear? Or where can I find joycal or jscal that will work with the 2.6 version of the kernel?Thanks in advance! FlightGear is a wonderful flightsim, though I haven't been able really play in a year because of this problem.

It can be found here: http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~vojtech/i...k.html#download. in the "ruby" cvs module. Go into the "utils" directory and type "make jscal". Then call it like this: $ jscal -c /dev/input/js0 to calibrate, then dump the calibration script: $ jscal -p /dev/input/js0 > /your/configuration.script. Call this script whenever you boot (e.g. from /etc/init.d/boot.local) or when you load the js driver (e.g. as a "post-install" statement from /etc/modules.conf).m.

I noticed this message regarding Joysticks and wondered whether any body can help with programming my joystick under windows XP. The programme seems to work Ok but the joystick obviously needs calibrating to the programme. The joystick I have a is a Genius Flight2000 F16
