> I have run the "fgjs" utility and saved the resultant .XML> file in the root directory for FG.....fgfs doesn't look there. Put the file anywhere under $FG_ROOT/Input/Joysticks/. 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.
