Looks great! Thanks ~

Works great, thanks!

 

For the joystick lua modification, I found I had to mod the default.lua for the specific device I want to use; in my case, the Warthog joystick and throttle. Otherwise, I couldn't map commands to them.

The link for downloading the mod does not work anymore. It looks like this file has been removed. Why ????
