PS3 Joypad XML

[nitekillerz]

Okay so i did what you guys said and i used textedit(mac) and then i clicked saved and saved it as a XML document. I put it in date/input/joystick/defualt/ps3.xml again and it still is saying flight gear had a problem starting. Did i put it in the wrong folder?

Hi guys. Not great with xml. I have copied the text into the data/joysticks.xml file. The controller works but it is using the driver described as joysticks/default/joystick.xml. so is only using a few buttons. If i copy the text into a file in that folder then the game quits during loading. Any help would be great. Thanks!

Is it possible to use the PS3 gyro function? I want to fly a hang glider with just the motion of the control, instead of pushing buttons. I was successful connecting the PS3 controller and flying with typical buttons. However, I can't figure out hot to read the accelerometer values from the PS3 controller.

Why do you need to read the accelerometer on a hang glider f0n ?
It would be most unusual for a hang glider pilot to need an accelerometer, most of 'em fly a hang glider without instruments.
Even if they were very keen on instruments, I'd imagine an ASI and maybe a Variometer would be sufficient.
What next? " My hang glider ILS ain't working!"
