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.<\/p>\n

Although the whole kit was recognized by Ubuntu, only the yoke appeared in X-Plane. The rudder pedals where nowhere to be seen.<\/p>\n

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:<\/p>\n

# Saitek Pro Flight Rudder Pedals
\nKERNEL==”event*”, ATTRS{idProduct}==”0763″, ATTRS{idVendor}==”06a3″, MODE=”0666″<\/p>\n

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!<\/p>\n

I’ve spent the last half hour assigning all the analog controls to their functions. And I haven’t even started on the buttons.<\/p>\n

First impressions: A lot to learn. And also to unlearn, especially with independent rudder control.<\/p>\n

Conclusion:I think I’m going to be on this Cessna for a loooong time.<\/p>\n
