Folks, I'm sure this subject has been beaten to death because my search on the subject returns a gazillion results. My problem is I'm an old guy and don't understand the structure of the XML files nor the shorthand being used here. FG is installed on my D: drive (it's a SSD) and I'm having trouble getting the CHj Pro Pedals working. In the Win10 game controller app I'm told the pedals are set as the "default device." and the slider works fine in the app. In the FG structure I'm finding the following... under FG\bin I find js0.xml, js1.xml and js2.xml. As near as I can determine the js0.xml is the file for the pedals and It's contents read...
<?xml version="1.0"?>
-<PropertyList>
-<axis>
<desc>Rudder</desc>
<direction>right</direction>
-<binding>
<command>property-scale</command>
<property>/controls/flight/rudder</property>
<factor type="double">-1</factor>
<power type="int">1</power>
</binding>
<dead-band type="double">0</dead-band>
</axis>
<name type="string">CH Pro Pedals USB Rudder Pedals </name>
</PropertyList>
The formatting didn't make the trip but you get the idea. It may be the proper time here to tell you that js demo.exe shows the name as "CH Pro Pedals USB Rudder Pedals" In the Control Panel Game Controllers app it shows up the same way as does in the File | Joystick Configuration in FG. There I can see the slider changing the values in Axis 2 but can't find a way to tell the sim that's the rudder input.
Next, under FlightGwar 2017.3\data I find the Joysticks.xml file which seems to be some (vague, at least to me) instructions about setting the joysticks up. Boring down further in that directory (OK, OK... Folder) I came upon a subfolder named "Input "with a subfolder there named "Joysticks" - I thought I was on a roll when I found a folder there named "CH" !! There are 3 XML files there, one of them named pro-pedals-usb.
I'm afraid I just don't understand the lingo you folks use. If someone could give me a plain English translation/instruction I would be most grateful. How grateful? well... come to St. Augustine Airport (now Northeast Florida Regional Airport) or KSGJ in lingo I do understand and Your next two Flight Reviews are on me. If ya don't need a BFR (as we used to call 'em, come on down anyway and while the women go shopping we'll drink some serious beer! In all seriousness I will sincerely appreciate any help getting me up to speed on this stuff.
