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

---- End freedom2_4.xml ---
I also ran fgjs and created a js0.xml with some interesting results. 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?
Thanks for your help
Jack
