Also, keep a copy of your modified file because otherwise, you may lose your changes when you upgrade or remove FlightGear. Before changing any file in $FG_ROOT, better make a backup copy.On the other hand, mice.xml offers more flexibility than typical OS tools, since you can tweak things differently for the various axes. I find it a bit strange to change it system-wide only for FG.Įdit: well, if you need different mouse sensitivity settings for different aircraft, you may find it easier to change in your operating system (Windows / Linux / etc.) than by editing mice.xml. In the same folder, you'll also find mice.xml which you may use to customize your mouse sensitivity for FlightGear.keyboard.xml is to be found in $FG_ROOT, not $FG_HOME (unless FG tries to read both locations, but I am not aware of this).

Also just wondering if using a 0.025 value would be a valid setting? I'm so new to FG and controlling the Cessna that it might just be my inexperience in controlling the aircraft that causes my desire for more sensitive control equivalent to the experience I had on my friends joystick!įlugHund, I'll give your suggestion a try and see how it goes, I'll post my results but this may be exactly what I'm looking for as I have a very difficult time fine tuning a heading or lining up for a landing with the default setting steps of 0.05. I tried a friends joystick and immediately noticed the control was significantly more subtle giving me greater fine tuned control.

Your right Thorsten, it is 0.05 steps which means exactly what you said, "you have to tap 20 times to get to full control deflection", but I would still like a little more sensitivity. If you're using the num-pad instead of the arrow keys, search for these terms as well but where the -tag contais a number, like 2 for Elevator up. Repeat that for: Elevator down, Move aileron left and Move aileron right (search for these terms to find the regarding code)įor rudder it's slightly different but hopefully self-explaining: Move rudder left and Move rudder right So, you should be able to make it more sensible by altering the -0.05 to something like -0.03.
# arg is the autopilot target altitude increment (-0.05, 100) arguments for that function, to quote controls.nas:Ĭode: Select all # arg is the elevator increment IncElevator is the actual function inside that file The line that actually performs that action is Code: Select all controls.incElevator(-0.05, 100)Ĭontrols is the nasal file where the function lives. Ideally make a backup copy before altering it.Įxample for the function "Elevator up" if you're using the arrow-keys (starting at line 1366 in said file):Įlevator up or increase autopilot altitude The file to alter is keyboard.xml which resides in FG_ROOT. Should be doable, though I've not actually tested it.
