NAME

       fgjs - FlightGear joystick utility

SYNOPSIS

       fgjs [--help] [--fg-root=rootdir]

DESCRIPTION

       fgjs  is  a  joystick  utility  for  the  FlightGear  flight  simulator  which  allows  you to generate a
       configuration file for your joystick interactively.

       To use it, launch the program with your joystick(s) connected. The utility will first prompt you to  move
       each joystick around in the dead band, that is, the area where it is centered and should not generate any
       input. Afterwards, you will be asked to move the control/push the button you would like to use  for  each
       function.

       The  configuration will be saved in the current working directory in several files named jsI.xml, where I
       is the  progressive  number  assigned  to  each  detected  joystick.  You  will  need  to  move  them  to
       ~/.fgfs/Input/Joysticks for them to be used by FlightGear.

OPTIONS

       --help Display usage information and exit.

       --fg-root=rootdir
              Set the FlightGear data root directory ($FG_ROOT) to rootdir.

ENVIRONMENT

       FG_ROOT
           If FG_ROOT is set and --fg-root is not set, it specifies the root data directory to use.

FILES

       ~/.fgfsrc.hostname, ~/.fgfsrc
           Configuration  files  containing command-line options for fgfs(1).  The --fg-root command-line option
           is searched there if it is not passed as a command-line argument to fgjs.
