Hi,

I have remapped all important command keys to a multi-button joystick with collie-had in order to use with EF2000 v2.0 DOS.
I have tested joystick behavior with the simulator/free flight and takeoffs. All views can be switched freely with the hat, the rudder and nose-steering on the ground will work.

Here's how to setup your joystick:

If you own a plug-and-play device it will not be difficult to install it in WIN: just plug it et voilà.
Callibrate the joystick in Windows beeing sure all axes and buttons are activated.
Now, with DosBox 0.74, you must configure joystick settings as follow:



Note: you must use the fcs drop down, otherwise the Dosbox mappings will not work.

Now, you must run the CONFIG.EXE within Dosbox, go in Preferences, Joystick setup and calibrate it there.
You will be asked if you have a rudder. Answer NO.
Then, calibrate the throttle; with the settings above it should appear as a clean bar.
You are asked if having a Flightstick Pro; Answer YES.

Lucky you, you don't have to do the mapping, i have already done this for you.
Copy and paste the following content in a txt file with the name mapper_EF2000.txt and put it in the main directory of your front end.

You must now tell the front end to use this mapper file instead of the standard DosBox mapper. Here's how you set it up:





It's important to chose the US keyboard with the corresponding code page!
You are done. Be sure to save the mapper_EF2000.txt for future usage.

If you want to map keys yourself with any game in Dosbox you can do it pressing CTRL-F1 during the game. the readme of Dosbox gives you more details.

Have fun with EF2000 !
