Quick Q on thrustmasters on windows 2000.. (somewhat OT)

SDL Development
1

Anyone seen a windows 2000 driver for a Thrustmaster Pro FCS? :slight_smile:

Also - any good demos that can test out the joystick? I haven’t done a
lot of stuff with joysticks in a bit and am wondering if anyone’s played
with a hat controller at all - or multiple (like the newer thrustmaster
joysticks :slight_smile:

G’day, eh? :slight_smile:

heh I just made a modified version of testjoystick that can plot
multiple axes…

Just out of curiousity, any reason the hat on an old thrustmaster come up
as axis 2 and 3 (0/1 is normal)??

string output says: (Analog 2-axis 4-button 1-hat FCS joystick)
testjoystick says: 4 axes, 0 hats, 0 balls, and 4 buttons

and my brother’s wingman says 6 axes, 6 buttons…

for some reason… is this a linux kernel issue or an SDL issue or …
Just wondering :slight_smile:

G’day, eh? :slight_smile:

This is a Linux kernel issue. SDL can partially compensate for it,
if it knows what the name of the joystick is and how to map it.

Try adding the following string to the end of the “special_joysticks"
list in src/joystick/linux/SDL_sysjoystick.c:
”‘Analog 2-axis 4-button 1-hat FCS joystick’ 2 1 0"
Please let me know if that works. :slight_smile:

See ya!
