Bob: That worked fine. Now I'll just have to take a little time to finish mapping the rest of the controls on my joystick and I'm good to go. Thanks.

If your joystick has more than four axes, you may need to disable the "JOYSTICK VIEW X" and "JOYSTICK VIEW Y" mappings by clicking...

I've been trying to run Tutorial #4 and I'm making a little progress, but not great. What is happening is the plane is crashing. While my Sidewinder controller will now do some things, it isn't mapped correctly. For example, I try to pull up and the plane rolls hard right. If I push forward, it rolls hard left. I can't figure out how to make it climb since I can't stay out of the weeds long enough. Things like that. I do see the cockpit, sky and terrain, though. As far as my Sidewinder, I have that...

Launched fine but consistently crashes about 5 seconds into the test flight. Doesn't seem to recognize my joystick (Microsoft Sidewinder) either nor any keyboard controls. Keyboard is recognized by Ubuntu so it isn't an interface issue. Doug On 4/15/20 11:25 AM, bbosen wrote: Great news, Doug. I will make that source-code style change in subsequent versions, hoping to be compatible with even more c++ compilers. I'm glad you got it to compile. The "install.sh" script should automate installation,...

Thanks, Bob. That seemed to work - at least, I was able to use Codeblock to build the file with no errors. A bunch of warnings but no errors. I'll continue with the install and see how far I get.

Well, this didn't work but thanks anyway for the idea. Got the same error messages with the make attempt as I got with Codeblocks. Guess I'll try your next suggestion.

Having trobule when trying the build under Code blocks. Getting errors ' invalid conversion from ‘const char’ to ‘char’ [-fpermissive]|' and I can't figure out what is going on. I've attached a txt file showing the build log if that will help. Build is under Ubuntu 16.04. Any help appreciated.
