I like the idea of being a door gunner looking down over the rice fields of Vietnam

If we gave everybody in the World free software today, but we failed to teach them about the four freedoms, five years from now, would they still have it?

No different to the Scorpion..... Does the joystick work on the Scorpion ?

A better image.... it won't win the SOTM

Hi Bomber
I've just tried the Scorpion
No Joy. No Joystick on either it or the Huey :|

When I tested the AH-1 Scorpion before, I did all mouse work. Never detected this issue.

ok that gives me something to work with...

I had to alter the throttle to act as a collective in the .set file and maybe doing this removes any setting derived from the joystick.xml file...

We'll have to experiment and see what works best

IAHM-COL,

Do you have a custom joystick definition file set up, or do you just go with the flow ?

at present in the -set.xml file I do this...

Code: Select all

    <input include="keyboard-T4T.xml">
      <joysticks>
         <js>
            <axis n="2">
               <desc>Throttle</desc>
               <binding>
                  <command>property-scale</command>
                  <property>fdm/jsbsim/fcs/collective-cmd-norm</property>
               </binding>
            </axis>
         </js>
      </joysticks>
   </input>


I'm struggling to find a working alternative
