when the triggers are not squeezed, the rudder should be straight. left trigger is rudder left, right trigger is rudder right. clicking down on the sticks resets the other's position. I fly with the right stick and look with the left one. the only thing i know of that may require editing is to add more "name" properties if there are xbox controllers that do not identify themselves with the same ID as the name mine does. hopefully it will be included in FG soon-ish. the other day i sent james a copy of the xml file. I've been using my xbox one controller with FG for about a year. the problem is whether FG has an appropriate XML file for it. You just connect it and FG should detect it. property_tree Posts: 98 Joined: Wed 1:13 pmĮgod wrote in Wed 7:45 pm:Hi, How would I connect an Xbox controller as a Joystick. And if you have done your own editing with a text editor while the sim is running, and then, without reloading it with the debug menu, change button/axis bindings in the sim, your own outside changes will be overwritten immediately. You either need to restart flightgear or reload it via the debug menu. But it does not LOAD it automatically if you edit that file with a text editor outside of the program. In other words, editing your joystick settings from within the running simulator, creates and changes a custom/specialized configuration file and overwrites it automatically. There is a way to do advanced fine tuning by editing that generated, specific configuration file, but if you do that while the program is still running, then you have to reload the inputs via the 'debug' menu entry in the top menu bar. The creation of this file is automatic whenever you change a setting. This specific configuration file is also an XML file, and will be named after your device. It will use a default configuration, which on your computer is saved as an XML file, and this default will be changed to a specialized one if you change any button or axis configuration. You'll get a window with a drop down menu that lists all detected control devices, choose your gamepad there. From my experience, it should just detect it, and allow you to configure it with the joystick options, which can be found in the first menu in the top bar menu.
