You either need to restart flightgear or reload it via the debug menu. But it does not LOAD it automatically if you edit that file with a text editor outside of the program. In other words, editing your joystick settings from within the running simulator, creates and changes a custom/specialized configuration file and overwrites it automatically. There is a way to do advanced fine tuning by editing that generated, specific configuration file, but if you do that while the program is still running, then you have to reload the inputs via the 'debug' menu entry in the top menu bar. The creation of this file is automatic whenever you change a setting. This specific configuration file is also an XML file, and will be named after your device. It will use a default configuration, which on your computer is saved as an XML file, and this default will be changed to a specialized one if you change any button or axis configuration. You'll get a window with a drop down menu that lists all detected control devices, choose your gamepad there. Example: if we change the throttle in the controller, the controller will wait some seconds before will listen to changes that came from flightgear.From my experience, it should just detect it, and allow you to configure it with the joystick options, which can be found in the first menu in the top bar menu. Disable FlightGear Controller update (time s) - This is the time in seconds that the controller will not update any changes that came form the flightgear.Anchor Throttle - If enable the throttle knobs will act as one.Brakes auto disable - it sets no brakes when touch is released.It gives a better rudder control for small rudder flight corrections. Smooth rudder - it applies a smooth (non linear transformation) rudder response.Rudder auto center - it auto centers the rudder when touch release.Pad auto center - it auto centers the Pad/steering when touch release.If it sets high threshold, small changes will not affect/change the airplane steering. If it sets low threshold (slider left), small changes in the steering controller will change the airplane steering. Accelerometer/pad threshold - This slider configures the threshold for the steering.Accelerometer aileron sensitivity - this slider configures the aileron sensitivity.Accelerometer elevator sensitivity - this slider configures the elevator sensitivity.Telnet port - The telnet port where the FlightGear is listening (check configuration section).Incoming UPD Port - The port where the Flightgear is sending information (check configuration section).Outgoing UDP Port - The port where the FlightGear is listening (check configuration section ).FlightGear IP - The local network ip where your flightGear is running.The Settings menu allows you to configure properly the FG777Controller to your FlightGear and network environment, other tweaks are available to set the application to a more enjoyable e comfortable controller. When accelerometer is enable it will show a steering image. Set autobrake, touch and swipe up or down, to rotate the button right or left accordingly.Reverse trust, this also sets the throttle to 0.Elevator trim down, the current elevator trim is showed in the little white diamond.When touchpad is enable the steering will be controlled by the pad (Item 17). This will give a 3 seconds timer so that the user must put the device (phone/tablet) in a comfortable position that will be the neutral steering position. When enable the accelerometer it will popup a message to calibrate the device.
