fgjs - FlightGear joystick utility
Contents
Description
fgjs is a joystick utility for the FlightGear flight simulator which allows you to generate a
configuration file for your joystick interactively.
To use it, launch the program with your joystick(s) connected. The utility will first prompt you to move
each joystick around in the deadband, that is, the area where it is centered and should not generate any
input. Afterwards, you will be asked to move the control/push the button you would like to use for each
function.
The configuration will be saved in the current working directory in several files named jsI.xml, where I
is the progressive number assigned to each detected joystick. You will need to move them to
~/.fgfs/Input/Joysticks for them to be used by FlightGear.
Environment
FG_ROOT
If FG_ROOT is set and --fg-root is not set, it specifies the root data directory to use.
Files
~/.fgfsrc.hostname, ~/.fgfsrc Configuration files containing command-line options for fgfs(1). The --fg-root command-line option is searched there if it is not passed as a command-line argument to fgjs.
