Joystick file: double values for "power" won't work

[OE-LML]

Hallo!

Win10, FG 2020.1.3
I was just changing "power"-values for the axes of my joystick. I noticed, although I entered it as a double value, it won't accept numbers with decimal point. Integer numbers like 1, 2, 3, ... work.
Is this a known issue or am I doing something wrong?

Example:

Code: Select all

  <axis n="1">
    <desc type="string">Elevator</desc>
    <binding>
      <command type="string">property-scale</command>
      <property type="string">/controls/flight/elevator</property>
      <factor type="double">-1</factor>
      <offset type="double">0</offset>
      <power type="double">1.7</power>
    </binding>
  </axis>


Thanks in advance.
cu.

I think that property only can be an integer, judging from Bindings#property-scale on the FlightGear wiki.

If you in FlightGear open up the property browser with "/" and Ctrl-leftclick a line with a single period "." to enter its verbose mode, you will see what type each property is. You should find the bindings for an axis in /input/joysticks/js[m]/axis[n]/bindings, where m and n are integers enumerating your input devices and their axis.
