How do I use variable analog joysticks easily without Python?

[musikai]

Analog joystick axes can only be used with Python (or logic nodes).
But there is an extra problem with Controllers other than Gamepads.

UPBGE makes usage of a file called gamecontrollerdb.txt created by an online community which only allows gamepads and no Flightsticks or other USB-Controllers.
So to use a Flightstick you must edit this file located in the directory datafiles/gamecontroller.

There you can add your own configuration.
To create a configuration you must use some external tools.
This is all quite fiddly you see.
But I managed to get my Microsoft Sidewinder ForceFeedback 2 Joystick working and also a virtual Joystick for HeadTracking.

Hurrah, my Joystick (MS SideWinder Force Feedback 2) works in UPBGE! And looking around in the Cockpit is now also possible. You can use a joystick for the helicopter by setting the property “use_joystick” on the object “ZSE” to True (Better use a joystick and not a gamepad because you want to control the pitch without a centering force) For a Microsoft SideWinder Force Feedback 2 to be recognized by Blender add this SDL2 code: 030000005e0400001b00000000000000,SideWinder Force Feedback 2…
