flight joystick h3lp

[linuxgnuru]

So I was given this joystick because it won’t run in windows 10 (oh boo hoo) anyway, it shows up under lsusb, but I still haven’t a clue how to set it up for steam goodness.
It’s a Genius F23 but all I could find were old posts about it and something about re-compiling kernels or something.

I think it uses the gf2k module… If it’s not autoloading, load it and check for a /dev/js?

Is it USB?

I’m not joking http://pocitace.hyperinzerce.cz/joystic … 3-nabidka/

The page says it uses something called GamePort (15-pin connector).

You need USB convertor OR card that supports GamePort

so … shouldn’t it be “x-plane.com” and not .org?

…

so their “free” version they call a demo …

http://x-plane.en.softonic.com/

at any rate, I’m going to give FlightGear a try

[linuxgnuru]

And so it begins…
