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.
