REPORT

 

Overview

The purpose of this project initially was to generate a method of saving custom joystick configuration for use with the open source flight simulator program known as Flightgear.  After 3 months of working with getting Flightgear to work and configuring the program, it was found that such a thing was already built into the program itself.  Thus the project was changed to Utilization of Flightgear's Joystick API
