Re: [Flightgear-devel] X52.xml file, and cheap rudder pedal :-p

[Tatsuhiro N. <tat...@ni...>]

AnMaster,

There's nothing wrong with the original X52.xml file. I just added  
more functions with X52.
I also modified some bindings to bind multiple functions to a button  
using the mode switch and the shift key.

Using X52 Pro with X52.xml is another story.
I guess X52 Pro is HID compatible so you don't need any driver for it,
Plus there's a library to use MFD on X52 Pro, so it should work on  
linux.

If you want to use X52 Pro on FlightGear, you need to know it's ID  
name by running fgjs.
you, then, need to add the name to the <name> tag in X52.xml

Best,

Tat
