[Flightgear-devel] How do I submit a joystick binding XML file for the next release?

With ARM devices reaching over 512 MB of RAM(including end user devices) and microSDs with over 16 GB of space available, I wouldn't say those are the limiting factors... I do doubt the ability of the GPUs in SoCs being able to run FG. Theoretically it's possible(OSG supports OpenGL ES), but in pra
