Just to make sure, I can comment-out that block and try out again.
If that does nt work it might be logical to keep looking for a cause...

@bomber
You are correct.

If I outcomment that section in the set.xml I get Joystick back, but I loose all control on the collective (keyboard and Joystick alike)

So at least you are up to something.

Not outerra. But the next version of terraGIT. Announcing coming Soon.

Hi @bomber

I use a custom Joystick configuration file, and I am wondering if there is any negative interference with the code

See link below

Not having any experience of using a custom joystick file, I don't know how it's called up and used..

Thursday I get my joystick working, hopefully we can work out way through it.

Initial findings are I've got no joystick control either.... So the investigation begins.

That's progress in the right direction

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

When I comment this out like 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 regain my joystick, but it does so without throttle control (not even keyboard throttle control)

[bomber]

Does anyone know of any plane specific joysticks ,?

[IAHM-COL]

I dont know of any
However, I am thinking it might make sense to reverse the collective-throtle via a jsbsim paramater, and link that instead

Such as the throtle of the joystick controls the throtle as in any plane, but on the helies that gets translated to a property inverted, that gets used in the fdm

Not that the idea of a Josytick plane specific is invalid, just that I think the fdm method might solve this and have also some sense?

[bomber]

If that was all we had to do....

We have to stop the joystick from operating the actual throttle as well.
