Extended sothis plugin to my custom X-Plane joystick mapping. As little support was found to Saitek X52 Pro joystick in Linux operating system, I made a custom plugin to take advantage of all joystick features.
Multi Function Display MFD used to display:
- COM1 frequencies (active and standby)
- FLAPS
- HSI source
LEDs associated with specific buttons are used to increase pilot awareness of aircraft configuration using:
- E and i buttons, gear up and gear down buttons respectively, with:
- no light - gear retracted
- green - extended
- orange - trasitioning
- D button, reverse toogle red when activated, green otherwise
- POV 1, nosewheel steering indicator: green - off, orange - on
- T3 and T4 switch, taxi light switch and indicator
- T5 and T6 switch, landing light switch and indicator
- Extract X-Plane SDK to project root folder.
- Run make command in project root folder.
- Copy build/release/x52control.xpl to X-Plane plugins folder.
- Happy flying!
