Interesting, looks like your hat is analog. You should be able to add a factor of -1.0 to reverse it. (See above). > 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? Well, the one you get should be customized for your stick but according to the whims of the config contributor's taste and with reservation for OS dependent axis numbering (which seems to be accounted for in the config) and variations in the actual joystick hardware. Experience says that that there may be several different revision sold under the same name. If you look in joysticks.xml, you e.g. can explicitly load a joystick config file of your choice there. So you can customize a copy of the original config to suit your taste. In the Docs directory you'll find several useful READMEs, e.g. README.Joystick.html, README.commands and README.xmlsyntax. > 2) Is there some way to enable the "force feedback" feature? Not as far as I know.
