hi WilmerJust read thru your readme. Looks very interesting. I checked my devices using grep as you suggest, nice.Anyway very late here so I will set it up tomorrow. Hopefully all will work out the box so to speak.Thanks

Let me know how it works for you. :-) It's especially nice with the udev setup, but when udev rules don't work, debugging them is hell in my experience.

It appears workarounds like what I wrote about in the OP will be obsolete once 10.10 is released:

 

"There is one immediate win to the new code that will be apparent to Linux users in X-Plane 10.10: the new code (which is based on input.h instead of joystick.h) recognizes hat switches as a set of buttons, rather than a pair of axes; this is almost certainly better from a UI configuration standpoint."

Oops! Wrong thread. :Hypnotized:

 

I've been waiting with bated breath for details of 10.10. A list of what's going to be included would be nice.

 

So far from the developer blog and the town hall meeting I've been able to determine that it (hopefully) will include:

- 64bit application for windows and linux at least

- Shortcut keys for snapping to custom 3D viewpoints

- The Columbia 400

- Some "back end" work for the joystick code.

- Some work on the road processing code

- Shortcuts for scenery packs

- Improvements to click-drag manipulators in 3-D cockpit

- ATI performance improvements

- 4096x4096 texture support

- Quickstart menu

- Better looking cities (I'm really hoping for this one)

 

 

 

I've filed several bug reports as well. I know that out of the ones I submitted, Austin replied to one of the reports to say it will be fixed for 10.10 (electric flaps operational on dead bus).

 

Will I get 10.10 beta 1? Well, I'll let one of you jump in first and report back!

This is an automatic message.
