NAME

6       fgjs - FlightGear joystick utility
7

SYNOPSIS

9       fgjs [--help] [--fg-root=rootdir]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       fgjs  is  a  joystick utility for the FlightGear flight simulator which
13       allows you to generate a configuration file for your joystick  interac‐
14       tively.
15
16       To  use  it,  launch  the  program with your joystick(s) connected. The
17       utility will first prompt you to move each joystick around in the  dead
18       band,  that  is,  the area where it is centered and should not generate
19       any input. Afterwards, you will be asked to move the  control/push  the
20       button you would like to use for each function.
21
22       The  configuration  will  be  saved in the current working directory in
23       several files named jsI.xml, where I is the progressive number assigned
24       to   each   detected   joystick.   You   will  need  to  move  them  to
25       ~/.fgfs/Input/Joysticks for them to be used by FlightGear.
