Actually, all bindings are included in $FG_ROOT/joysticks.xml, so it is this file that needs to be forked.

[Flightgear-devel] Patch for sidewinder-force-feed-pro.xml
The throttle and axis bindings need to be swapped in sidewinder-force-feed-pro.xml The description at the top is correct but the bindings don't match.

Whoa ... that sounds nuts! I've never heard of that before.

Whether I run FG under Windows or Linux I always have to edit the bindings and swap those two axis.

Are you using the hat ? they are also swapped. If you are using the same file, you are doing the endless loop yourself. To be sure, can you post the exact reported name for your joystick on both system ?

You can start js_demo ( a plib example ) included in the Windows distribution and compiled with the plib examples on Linux.
