Oolite Bulletins

DaddyHoggy, thanks very much for your feedback. Sounds like you have fully optimised your setup for Oolite. SiriusCG, any comment about any cemtre drift issues and configuration of your Logitech? el_Paraguayo, have u tried it in Linux with Oolite yet? Anybody tried successfully or otherwise with an ...

These are my possible choices: ThrustMaster FireStorm Dual Analog 3 £9: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/94923?utm_source=google&utm_medium=products Pros: Daddyhoggy has it working well in Oolite/Linux Cons: Some user reviews say D-Pad is really bad (Daddyhoggy - how do you find the D-Pad?) Logitec...

In Oolite Linux with your Logitech dual action gamepad:

1. Is there any problem with centre drift with precision mode on or off?
2. Are you able to configure all the buttons in Linux for Oolite?
3. Have you configured the analog sticks for yaw, pitch and roll?

I believe DaddyHoggy uses a ThrustMaster FireStorm Dual Analog 2. Is that right?

Not sure if I can buy that one now but would other Thrustmasters be OK eg. Thrustmaster F1 or Thrustmaster Run n Drive?

I read that people had problems with XBox 360 controller centring - is that still the case?

Thanks. Done.

I'm thinking of buying a dual analog stick gamepad after getting shoulder pains using a mouse and keyboard for too long on my sofa (Hd TV is my monitor). In particular, I want to be able to configure the one of the two analog sticks to do nose up down left right and the other to do roll and to be ab...

I'm not denigrating the fine efforts of all Oolite and OXP developers. Far from it. I am amazed at what has been achieved.

Doesn't the SDL that Oolite uses abstract from the complexities of supporting controllers on multiple OSs? (It's description says: Simple DirectMedia Layer is a cross-platform multimedia library designed to provide low level access to audio, keyboard, mouse, joystick, 3D hardware via OpenGL, and 2D ...

We need an OpenCL (Open Controller Library)

MOUSE UP = nose up MOUSE DOWN = nose down MOUSE LEFT = strafe left MOUSE RIGHT = strafe right RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON + MOUSE LEFT/RIGHT = roll left/right (usefull in manual docking) CENTER MOUSE BUTTON = center all axis MOUSE WHEEL = engine speed LEFT MOUSE BUTTON = fire I can see how this would be ide...

I did that and while it is certainly a much tidier way to get rid of Pulseaudio it did not solve my problem. After much playing around I found in .asoundrc: pcm.Filter_RateConvert { type plug # type rate slave { pcm "Filter_Duplex" rate 48000 } } works, but if you uncomment the "type ...

Ok cool thanks. I shall try that when I get home.

I am using Ubuntu 10.04LTS. Alsa is set up such that the default output encodes to Dolby Digital using the Alsa A52 plugin for output through S/PDIF. I removed Pulseaudio after I could not get it to work with Alsa. Maybe the Simple DirectMedia Layer is having the same problem as Pulseaudio? I did ma...

I get the above (and no sound) - any ideas?
