So I got bored and started making my own joystick. The standard throttle of a HOTAS would leave me feeling lacking, and my 2-hand required Logitech 3D extreme felt odd in terms of strafing about...

So, here is a short video in 0.9 with my working concept, I saw a few others, some even using a "Stewart" style platform, and I thoght... I don't need to make it that complicated. Currently you're able to just plug this bad boy in, its recognized, a few commands into a .XML and it controls the forward, left, right, up, and down. Currently unable to map back because there is a conflict in the axis and whats required to go forward... I've still got some playing to do. Also am unable to invert the up and down vectoring (push down to go up.. ewww... feels wrong). I'll most likely start working on second hand software to talk to the stick also to make adjustments and aid in these future problems.

Either way, rather short, but to the point...
