FlightGear Controller 0.2.0
===========================

FlightGear Controller (fgctrl) is a simplified flight cockpit
designed mainly for FlightGear, the free flight simulator.
(http://www.flightgear.org/)
But can be used with other simulators too.

This project is using AVR microcontroller as an input adapter
for analog axis (rudder, elevator, throttle, flaps),
and digital buttons (brake, magnetos, starters, landing gears, etc.),
representing them to PC as a USB Gamepad.

Currently, FlightGear Controller was designed mainly for using with FlightGear
running propeller-based aircraft, geared toward the "De Havilland Beaver" (dhc2).
But also worked with "Cessna 172" (c172p), and "Piper J3 Cub" (j3cub).

FlightGear Controller is a free software, released under
GNU General Public License, see LICENSE.txt and COPYING.txt for details.

Documentation
=============

For general overview of FlightGear controller, see doc/OVERVIEW.txt
For hardware-side building instruction (incomplete), see doc/BUILDING.txt
For microcontroller software installation instruction, see doc/INSTALL.txt
For FlightGear/PC-side configuration instruction, see doc/CONFIGURE.txt
For a note on aircraft support and aircraft-specific issue, see doc/COMPATIBILITY.txt
For a note on playing (and quirks), see doc/PLAYING.txt


USB Support
===========

For USB support, this project used V-USB
a firmware-only USB driver for AVR microcontroller, 9-Jan-2012 version
Copyright (C) 2005-2012 Objective Development Software GmbH
Released under GNU General Public License either version 2 or 3.
http://www.obdev.at/vusb/
(for the license, also see COPYING.txt)

USB VID/PID currently used by FlightGear Controller is 0x16c0/0x05dc
(for generic libusb [mis]use), for details on these numbers,
see the file usbdrv/USB-IDs-for-free.txt
