Make sure to include answers to at least the following questions in your initial post.

OS (Windows XpVista, Mac etc.) are you running - what FlightGear version do you use - what graphics card do you have Please, also see Requesting Technical Help.

Note: If you did not get a reponse, even after 7 days, you may want to check out the FlightGear mailing lists to ask your question there.

Additionally it has some logic functions and returns GUI messages for some buttons (Gear updown, Thrust reverser, flaps updown incl.

That way other users will be able to use this joystick straight away with our next release As you can see ( here ) the Black Hawk is the only Speedlink joystick with a defenition file right now.

I will do that after I tested the stick successfully in Ubuntu with an actual cvs version of FG.

Yet Im compiling But Im still confused with one point: In Ubuntu using prebuilt FG 1.9.0 jsdemo.sh tells me another numbering for the coolie hat (axis 4 and 5 instead of 6 and 7 as in Vista x64).

So I checked other joystick definitions and find the xml construct of number - windows - unix - mac.

I added this construct to all axes and buttons with the correct corresponding numbers.

Whenever I start FG in Vista with this definition my view is wandering automatically to the most left and lowest view.

It looks like even in Vista FG is now listening to axis 4 and 5 which are not defined used here and not to axis 6 and 7 any more.

Is there a predefined position for these entries in the xml My dream is to have one xml for all operating systems.

While I write this Im working on it.

Heres what does NOT work: Code: Select all.

View Direction true.

View Elevation true.

So I got a running configuration for the Speelink SL-6640 and sent it to devel-list albeit I dont see my config in CVS yet.

Would be great if you could help me.

Be aware that Im on Linux only now so I cant verify the config on windows.

Please make sure not to have a trailing empty line in the end of your file.

With the new data (also checked, that there is no empy line at the end) Flightgear doesnt even start the simulation.

The Aileron, Elevator, Throttle, Brakes and Aileron-Trim work fine, but the other functions (e.g.

Side Rudder or Gear) dont work.

Joystick Ngs Black Hawk Windows 7 With Flightgear

Im using Windows 7 with Flightgear 2.4.

I didnt change the black-widow.xml-file.

I suppose that this is caused by the problem you explained above.

Joystick Ngs Black Hawk How To Fix That

Do you have an idea how to fix that Greetings, Rach EDIT: The Joystick works correct; in JSTest all axis and buttons are useable.

So if this problem occurs, just add the following line into your black-widow.xml: Code: Select all SL-6640 Black Widow Flightstick Greetings, Rach.

The main changes are - PTTtrim controls on the stick itself (which matches where they are on yokessticks in real life) - Separate buttons for gear up and down (so you can confirm the gear is down by pressing the Gear Down button again) - Removal of the Thrust Reversers and Speed brakes (needed to make room for the PTT and gear buttons) - Removal of the GUI popups (purely an aesthetic decision - I prefer using the cockpit itself to determine control effect) If youre interested, the definition can be found here.
