Yes, I have an xml file for the freedom2.4 joystick. It is in the path and file Input/Joysticks/Logitech/freedom2_4.xml. I tried your suggestion of editing the joystick.xml file, but it appears to just read the same file.
This is the freedom2_4.xml ---- Begin freedom2_4.xml --- <?xml version="1.0" ?> <!-- ************************************************************************ * Bindings for Logitech Freeedom2-4 (USB)

Now the Aileron, Elevator, and rudder Axes work, but the throttle axis, the cooley hat axes and NONE of the buttons do not. I can send that file separately. I was looking at some of the other joystick xml files and noticed some tags that appear platform specific namely: <unix> <mac> and <windows> Would this be an issue?
