Hi, Are you using FlightGear 1.0.0 ? The version of the Aviator configuration in that release had only been tested on Linux - and the axis numbers differ between OSes. It also includes a <name> line for the alternative name (mine reports the name in the old file :). The version currently in CVS has been tested and worked on Linux, Windows and (IIRC) Mac OS. The file here has a few updates (for airship piloting) over the one in CVS: http://www.gidenstam.org/FlightGear/misc/Saitek_Aviator/Aviator.xml Could you try the current config and see if it correctly handles your stick? Yours might be a different version from the ones we have encountered before..
