Hi everybody,

first things first: if anyone else would like a copy of "EF2000 v2.0", although it's not sold anymore, I found it here:

or here


Hope that helps! :-)

Now to my question:
Does anyone know, what these numbers in the ef2000.cfg mean?
I kinda need to know these numbers, because although I've managed to get throttle and rudder working, NOTHING (not even the joystick) is centered!
So maybe I could enter the correct numbers myself... (I have these from the DOS Joystick tester "joycheck.exe" (from "Henrik K. Jensen")

JOYSCALE=512
  • this is always 512 with my joystick

JOY_FACTOR=93
  • I've had 93 two times but I#ve also seen 1024: so, what could that be?

JOYSTICK=4000,634,612,658,636,23,1016,409,1911,751,0
  • this is "the big one": I need to enter "my" numbers here; but I just don't know what these stand for (x+, x-, ...?) or (x-min, center, x-max, ...?)


Thank you very much in advance!!

Ok, I think I got it!

After calibrating my 4 axis in the joystick testing tool, I can read the output values:

Code
axis 	zero	center	max
X	27	685	1341
Y	27	685	1341
Z	27	670.5	1341	throttle
R	55	683.5	1301	rudder



And this is what I get from testing the values:

Code
4000	
712	x center + x min
1341	x max
712	y center + y min
1341	y max
27	z min
1341	z max
55	r min
1301	r max
739	r center + r min
0



I still don't know what "JOY_FACTOR" does or what to set it too, but I left it at 96.

Now every axis is centered, hooray!!

cheers!

I now know what
Code
JOYSCALE=512

is: sensitivity!

With 512, you can't really turn that well. You may get up to a few G's max. When playing with Keyboard you get a really tight radius, resulting in 7-9 G's easily!

So I now have it at 2048, which is WAY better! Not as good as with Keyb., but good enough. (and more then 2048 didn't improve anything...)
