I am trying to program a gauge that will intercept the elevator signal from joystick and process it on its own. I don't want FS to translate those signals directly into elevator deflection. I understand that one way of doing it would be through disabling joystick in FS (KEY_JOYSTICK_CALIBRATE event) and handling it throught DirectInput. 1. Is there a more elegant way of accomplishing this ? I only want to "steal" the pitch axis. The roll and yaw can be processed by FS, as far as I am concerned.2. Is there a way to read in the FS joystick axis assignments ? Should I be forced to use the dreaded "disable joy / DI" approach, I would like to preserve the FS assignments in order to eliminate the need for custom .cfg files.Adam

Hello Adam,As far as I know, what you describe is the only way to steal the pitch axis from FS.If you want to read the FS joystick assignments, the only solution I know is to read and parse the "fs9.cfg" file.Eric
