Hooked up my new toys!
Although the whole kit was recognized by Ubuntu, only the yoke appeared in X-Plane. The rudder pedals where nowhere to be seen.
It turns out to be a permissions issue, and you need to create /etc/udev/rules.d/99-input-saitek.rules, and enter the lines:
# Saitek Pro Flight Rudder Pedals
KERNEL==”event*”, ATTRS{idProduct}==”0763″, ATTRS{idVendor}==”06a3″, MODE=”0666″
No idea why the yoke works out of the box but not the pedals. This is why if you use Linux, you buy a PS4 for gaming!
I’ve spent the last half hour assigning all the analog controls to their functions. And I haven’t even started on the buttons.
First impressions: A lot to learn. And also to unlearn, especially with independent rudder control.
Conclusion:I think I’m going to be on this Cessna for a loooong time.
Hooked up my new toys!One of my not quite work related things to do for 2015 is to set up and get into flight sims again. So I got a set of flight yoke and rudder pedals to make things a bit more real.
