Sabre Fighter Plane Simulator
Version 0.2.4.b
JOYSTICK.README
November, 1999
I am no longer including the joystick-0.8.0 package, as
most installations now include a joystick package. A joystick
calibration utility is included, joystick/sabrecaljoy.
You can access it via RunSabre by selecting Calibrate joystick 0,
or 1, or standalone by "sabrejoycal [ 0 1 ]", where 0 is for
joystick 0 (yoke), and 1 is for joystick 1 (rudder, throttle).
sabrejoycal produces the files joy0.def and joy1.def, which
should reside in the lib directory to be in effect. These files
define the correction, minimum, maximum and other values for
joystick control.
Mouse / Joystick configurations
-------------------------------
With joystick 0 active, your mouse becomes both your rudder
and your throttle. Pushing forwards and backwards on your
mouse opens and closes your throttle, while sideways movement
of the mouse effects the rudder. In this configuration,
the mouse button engages/disengages the speed-brakes.
With joystick 0 and joystick 1 active, the throttle/rudder wheel
on your joystick is the rudder, while the mouse is the throttle
and the mouse-buttons the speed-brake controls.
Joystick button functions
------------------------
* Note -- these button functions are based on the CH-Flightstick
* model, they may be different for other brands. See Customizing
* below
Naturally, the trigger button's function is to send various forms
of destructive material at high velocities towards those whom you
wish ill. The other buttons functions are:
Button 2: Cockpit display on/off
Button 3: Arm / Disarm weapon
Button 4: Invoke Track View
If you have a coolie-hat (and it sends the same bits as a
CH-Flightstick):
coolie-hat up: front view
coolie-hat left: left view
coolie-hat right: right view
coolie-hat down: back view
Customizing Joystick Configuration
----------------------------------
If the above configurations are not satisfactory, you
might want to edit src/siminput.C. The routines
FlightInput::update(),
FlightInput::do_joystick_button(),
and others should be fairly self-explanatory. If not,
please feel free to inquire:
dan@cobite.com
and I'll do my best to help you get a configuration
you're happy with.
Good hunting!
