Also, in the view you've got with F1 to F4, is not possible to include top and down view ? It would quite usefull when you want to turn around something.
Hmm... dorsal and ventral lasers would be soooo good. Fly under something and strafe its ass off. Giles? Huh? Huh???

Yeah, right, but for the sake of good production design i believe that in a simulated cockpit a forklift joystick would be not bad, i wonder if USB-overdrive would handle 'em.
Yes, if they use the USB HID Generic Desktop page. Possibly, if they use the USB HID Simulation Page. I saw on the CH page that USB is an optional feature, but it doesn’t seem to mention protocol.

My joystick is a Gravis Blackhawk ADB. With no OS X drivers. I started trying to reverse-engineer it at some point; at the time the kernel ADB interface seemed to be lacking the communication mode used by Gravis’s (publically available) MouseStick II driver for OS 7-9, which I was using as a basis. :-(

I’ve also got a Logitech Dual action game pad. The suspended HID branch of Oolite was motivated by this, but after using it with the SDL build of Oolite for a bit I went back to the mouse.
