cant use joystick

[Guest lakedadtoo]

I have run the "fgjs" utility and saved the resultant .XML file in the root directory for FG.....but I am able to use only the basic control of up/down, bank right/left and throttle control....none of the button controls are being recognized even though the "fgjs" utility recognized their input and created the associated scripting in the .XML file.....Is there somethng else I am required to do to get FG to use the .XML file that was created by "fgjs".....

You can see in the property browser ("File"->"Browser Internal Properties") under /input/joysticks/js/ if your config was found. The "source" entry should contain the path to your xml file.If you customized for a joystick that isn't supported out-of-the-box yet, then please consider to submit your config file. Chances are that it gets included in the next release. Maybe your joystick model is already supported, but wasn't found. This can be if the respective driver files lacks a entry with the exact identifier. You get that identifier from running fg_demo(.exe). In this case just add that name in an additional entry to the existing driver file, and submit that name, so it can be added to the official driver, too.
