Bridge Command General Support / Re: Reversing the joystick in ver 5.5.3

I did read this...  I understand the graph (joystick value,throttle value) but I didn't get it. Now I think I do, based on the last bullet point above the "Example joystick mapping" heading. I'll take another whack at it.

Reversing the signs worked as expected.  Thank you. 

I would like to make some adjustments, but I still don't understand the relationship of the joystick_map(a,b) entries with the graph.  Could you explain a bit about the meaning of the three parameters on each line? 

Thanks,
Ed

Not sure if this was intentional.

On the website, page https://www.bridgecommand.co.uk/Doc/4.7/Using.php was very useful. In the current 5.x documentation, this page was omitted.

I think you might want to bring it back. For one thing, it has a list of keyboard commands that I couldn't find elsewhere.

Best,
Ed

Bridge Command General Support / Reversing the joystick in ver 5.5.3

Hello, I'm just now discovering Bridge Command. I've always wanted a ship simulator (and a tugboat .

I set up a saitek aircraft yoke and throttle quadrant, and although the yoke is correct for the rudder, both the throttles (once I found the correct axes) are reversed.  Push forward runs engines backwards.

In another posting back in 2017, the forum admin states that reversing the joysticks will be present in release 5.

Can somebody clue me in?

Thanks,
Ed Greenberg
