Hi,I've just downloaded FG v. 3.0 on OS 10.9.1 on iMac 27' late 2009 with ATI Radeon HD 4850 512 MB.FG loads fine, but when trying to use my old Logitech Wingman Force it does not register in FG even though there is an xml written for it.Joystick help does not work. Setting General - Control - joystick or auto does not help.As opposed to the number of buttons in the xml file the joystick actually has 9 buttons and a thrust lever.

It's possible FG is not 'seeing' your joystick because the xml name is incorrect.Have you tried re-naming Wingman Force? Or Wingman Force Joystick?or as many other combinations!Use js-demo to see what name FG 'sees' then try that between markers in the xml file.Can you find js-demo in Mac?The number of buttons can be corrected to 9 and what you want each to do can also be worked onby editing the xml file.Flameout used to have a Wingman Force joystickjs-demo reads my Aviator AV8R-01 joystick as Saitek Aviator Stick. I'm a bit confused now. Downloaded FG 2.0.0-r288-LionOnly to get jsdemo.

No luckI moved the two default files and replaced them with a new joystick.xml first only changing 'Wingman Force' to 'default', starting FG, changing view, but no movement of control surfaces. Then I changed the Axis 2 in the new joystick.xml as per your instructions, restarted FG again, changed view, but no movement.

The joystick.xml is like this with the new Axis 2 codeI then copied the joystick.xml to four-axis-joystick.xml so there are two identical xml looking like this (axis 3 and up still the same as original wingman-force.xml):Code:

I have VirtualBox with a WinXP installation, so I downloaded FG v3.0 for Windows and it works - very slow unfortunately and basically not worth flying. The Wingman Force has to be selected in VirtualBox Menu - Devices - USB Devices - Logitech Wingman Force 0100 and is THEN recognised and configurable under the menu Help - Joystick Configuration as Logitech WingMan Force USB. In WinXP Control Panel - Game Controllers the name is identical.I then tried to copy the wingman-force.xml back to joystick logitech folder after adding names as found in VirtualBox and WinXP.

The default Joystick.xml and four-axes-joystick.xml still in the default folder. Restart FG v3.0 on OS 10.9.1 but still no luck. I have also tried the joystick probe for mac from this post. Wingman Force is not recognised by joystick probe.That's what clued me to search for info. Joystick probe uses USB HID calls. That it doesn't recognize your joystick tells me it's not an HID compliant device, and Logitech would seem to corroborate it. If it's not recognized by Joystick Probe, it will never be recognized by FlightGear, so fiddling with xml files is a waste of time.Sean Posts: 61 Joined: Wed Jul 10, 2013 3:47 pm Version: 2.12 OS: Mac OS X 10.6.8.

If it's not recognized by Joystick Probe, it will never be recognized by FlightGear, so fiddling with xml files is a waste of time.That is not entirely true - as long as the operating system presents the device as a joystick in a way plib recognizes FG can use it. For example, on Linux you can use old game port analog joystick devices. Naturally, FG's auto-selection of configuration does not work well with those as the kernel module assigns a generic name to the device (and the kernel module may need to be informed of the layout of the device) so one will need to load the appropriate configuration manually. Now, when it comes to Mac OS on x86 hardware it might not have been around long enough to ever support the old game port devices?

I really have no idea. What tricked me to think the Wingman Force would work is the fact that there is a wingman-force.xml in FG v3.0 for Mac OS. I forgot that FG is a cross platform program and that that could be the reason for the wingman-force-xml being included. If that is the case I apologise@sim: before I read the latest replies I had already tried to delete the full Logitech folder under Data/Joysticks.

It didn't work. I then read Icarus' post about the HID and I haven't tried your latest suggestions. I'm not very good with coding, so I'm in doubt in which xml to insert the disabling you suggest. Is it in joystick.xml under default? I'm also in doubt what to name the xml you've coded for the C172?@Icarus: I've never had the Wingman Force work under Mac OS except under WinXP in a virtual machine on Mac OS and I don't think that counts?

Just to test further I downloaded the 'Joystick and Gamepad Tester' for Mac, but the Wingman Force didn't show. The PS3 controller connected via USB did show. Regarding the HID issue it seems you are correct based on this from a Logitech Moderator on Logitech Support Forum:Re: Logitech Wingman Force & Windows 7 64-bitOptions 11:21 AMSO:The Wingman Force and Formula Force are not USB HID productsThey do not use the common drivers that HID products canThey are serial products that can use a special USB adapter and communicate to the PC in very nonstandard waysTheir feedback effects HAVE to be prewritten to the memory of the device and executed by calling to the memory space of the effect. Every USB Force Feecback device we made after these two devices can accept on-the-fly effects sent to them from the comptuer and do not require preloading to the hardware.The memory of the device was quite good at the time of the build, but now and with what game developers are doing, it's very limitedTo extend the life of the product, we implemented ever-more complex tricks to get the device to transparently work as long as possible, but modern game effects continued to put more demand on the hardware.With 64-bit addressing, our tricks were completely broken.

Considering the limitations of the hardware on such a fundamental level, we did not continue development. To unify the codebase, all support was taken out for both 5.x builds, and if you want to continue using this product, use LGS 4.6 on a Windows x86 machine.Our LGS 4.6 code is not prepared for public release and I do not think we will ever release it openly.@Anders: I will try to find out if there's a workaround to support old game port devices on Mac OS. So far I've tried USB Overdrive which doesn't work with FG (information from another post on this forum) and also does not see the Wingman Force.I appreciate input from all of you and hope that we somehow can solve this by either determining a workaround or determining for sure that the Wingman Force will not work with FG v3.0 for Mac OS.Ren Posts: 7 Joined: Fri Mar 21, 2014 7:33 pm. I'm still searching and have posted questions on Apple Support Forum about a readout from USB Prober (a tool from the developer kit that reads a lot of values from devices connected to USB). As understand it the Linux system is also open source like FG and there are drivers for the Wingman Force inside the Linux Kernel, but I have to rely on you experts to tell me if that is useful information or not?However I found this on wingmanteam.com:Most of the Logitech® USB devices (force feedback or not) are HID compliant and should work just fine through the Linux HID driver which is in all kernels 2.4 and above (see the kernel documentation for configuration options).

The joystick was widely praised in its inception and was one of the few joysticks with multiple buttons that did not require a keyboard pass-through.
