Day 9 FlightGear still wont load but some light on the situation at least maybe
for those tech's who
know the code.
I Created a joystick config file from another one which closely matched my
joystick, edit4ed it and
included it's path in "joysticks.xml"
I ran fgfs.exe "--log-level=info"|more (note, MORE is not recognised in this
WIN environment with
fgfs) but the pause key works, and got out a report, here are all the errors
in the report, maybe
someone can enlighten me to the significance of these and hopefully suggest a
work around.
REPORT ERRORS:
Object Panel Instruments not found.
Object ControlsGroup not found.
Reading Communication protocol from E:/FlightGear/data/Protocol .xml "Note the
space after
Protocol."
Unable to load the protocol configuration file.
Medium=file.
Direction=in.
Hertz=5
Filename= "Note no filename."
Error opening file: "Note no filename"
Error opening channel communication layer.
I/O channel config failed.
Deleting a sample.
END REPORT ERRORS:
The "system.fgsfrc" file is obviously overwritten every time FlightGear runs as
I have experimented
with making the file "read only" and that stops FG dead.
This is the information contained in my "system.fgsfrc" file located in
"E:FlightGear\Data":-
--fg-root=E:\FlightGear\data
--fg-scenery=E:\FlightGear\data\Scenery;E:\FlightGear\scenery
--airport-id=KSFO
--aircraft=c172r-3d-jsbsim
--control=joystick
--enable-mouse-pointer
--disable-random-objects
--disable-ai-models
--time-offset=1200
--generic=file,in,5,,
This is the relevant path entry in the "joysticks.xml":-
<js-named include="Input/Joysticks/Logitech/Logitech-attack-3-win.xml"/>
This is the "name" entry in "Logitech-Attack-3-win.xml" joystick config file:-
$Id: Logitech Attack 3 win USB $
-->
<PropertyList>
<name>Logitech Attack 3 USB</name>
<axis n="0">
Etc. etc.
Does any of the above assist anyone to help a newbie at this task.
Many thanks, Grayham.............
