Fortunately, that's not a collision -- we don't have two different
devices using the same name -- so it's not so bad.  It will be easy to
fix by allowing more than one name for each device, i.e.

  PropertyList
   nameCH PRODUCTS CH PRO PEDALS USB /name
   nameCH Pro Pedals USB Rudder Pedals /name
   ...
  /PropertyList

It will require only about five lines of new code to support this, and
I'll try to get to it next week; in the meantime, just keep your
locally-edited copy.


Thanks,


David

[Flightgear-devel] Input binding flexibility

2002-07-13 Thread William Earnest 

Hi all,

The recent addition of binding USB devices by name is great. No more 
crawling under the table to unplug and replug the yoke and pedals, which 
would come up in random order on a reboot and get assigned to different 
js? values.

One issue is name variability. I have a different version of the CH 
pedals, where the ID, instead of CH PRODUCTS CH PRO PEDALS USB  is CH 
Pro Pedals USB Rudder Pedals . I have edited the .xml file on my system 
as a workaround. Any way to allow multiple names? If not, how is the 
file name collision to be handled?

Computers, like air conditioners, work poorly with Windows open.
