[I know this thread is old, but I spent a couple hours figuring this out the other day, so I thought I'd document it for posterity.] [This is all for Linux only] The simplest thing to do is to just eliminate all flat spots, deadband, gain and offset being applied by the old joystick API layer (which...

I'm trying to export a movie of a recording in heli-x v8, and the resulting .mp4 file never has any audio. I've tried various video players/utilities and all of them agree that the .mp4 file simply has no audio track: $ ffmpeg -i movie_001.mp4 -hide_banner Input #0, mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2, from 'mo...

It's simpler to build/use than the kernel module.

FYI,
Almost all of the links on the "Controller" page are broken.

IIRC, only the two Amazon links work.

On my machine, this error was because I did not have the "xrandr" utility installed.

I see you've added fixed-wing plane simulation in v8! I said I'd pay extra for that, so I'll be registering again. I'm not sure my laptop has good enough video hardware, but hopefully my desktop can handle it. If not, maybe it's time for a new laptop. Heli-X is pretty much the only decent RC-sim opt...

Have you considered adding fixed-wing RC airplane simulation? I'd happily pay another €50 for decent airplane simulation. I know there are plenty of airplane simulators for Windows, and a couple for Mac, but there's very little available for Linux. There is one open-source option (crrcsim) for Linux...
