Hi,
I just got a CH Fighterstick USB, and wanted to take it for a spin with
FlightGear, which uses plib. I started to check on the joystick with
js_demo that comes with FlightGear.
To my surprise, js_demo does not recognize the yoke movements of the
FighterStick - even though it sees the button presses. Also, if I have
an additional CH Pro Pedal connected, that is recognized properly.
I talked to the FlightGear people, and they told me to contact the plib
crew regarding this issue. so here I am.
I'm running Gentoo Linux, kernel 2.6.13, I have plib 1.8.4 installed.
Some additional info:
