Thanks for answering!
I am rather new to simulation but I have 10 years of gliding experience.
No real powered flight experience though.
Anyway the xml file I use contains this for the hat:
<!-- The next two axes are the view hat -->
<axis>
<desc>Lat-Hat</desc>
<number>
<unix>4</unix>
<mac>4</mac>
<windows>6</windows>
</number>
<binding>
<command>property-scale</command>
<property>/sim/current-view/axes/lat</property>
</binding>
</axis>
<axis>
<desc>Long-Hat</desc>
<number>
<unix>5</unix>
<mac>5</mac>
<windows>7</windows>
</number>
<binding>
<command>property-scale</command>
<property>/sim/current-view/axes/long</property>
</binding>
</axis>
As you can see there is no <low> or <high> setting here. In fact
it seems like there is only one setting for right-left (Long-Hat?)
and forward-backward (Lat-Hat?).
Questions:
1) Is there some place where users exchange flightgear joystick
definition files so I could get one already customized for my
not so uncommon joystick?
2) Is there some way to enable the "force feedback" feature?
Best regards,
BosseB

Sorry for top-posting!
I tried using the news interface via Gmane so I could use my Free
Agent newsreader, but unfortunately all posts I made from Gmane
just bounced.
So I am stuck with my email program, which for other reasons is
Microsoft Outlook 2003, which gives me no help in posting
correctly. :-(

Not intuitive, and certainly not how the author had planned it.
Remember: you aren't the only fgfs user. And apparently it
worked for everyone but you so far. That the axis is reported
backwards on *your* machine isn't really our fault.
> How can I change this?
Just find the axis definition and swap the <low> and <high>
contents (assuming it's a digital hat).

True. I'm sure the (unpaid) documentation maintainers/writers would
accept your patches. (You are aware that we aren't a company,
aren't you? :-)

There are lots of examples in all the joystick drivers, for example:
<binding>
<command>nasal</command>
<script>controls.aileronTrim(0.75)</script>
</binding>
Likewise for rudder and elevator.
