¿ A drop down box where you can select the physical axis you want to map it to

¿ A 'value bar' (located to the right of the axis name) that shows the current value of the

analogue axis.

¿ A deadzone drop down box presents you 4 options: 'Small' 'Medium' 'Large' and 'Huge'.

'None' means exactly that, no deadzone is applied to the physical axis. 'Small' applies a

deadzone of 1% the size of the physical travel to either side of the '0' point, while

'Medium' enlargens that size of 5%. 'Large' applies a 10% deadzone, and 'Huge' makes

it a whopping 50% !

¿ And a saturation drop down box that contains 4 options: 'None' 'Small' 'Medium' and

'Large', where 'Small' specifies a saturation zone size of 1% of the physical travel,

'Medium' sets 5% and 'Large' applies 10%.

Please note that, as a consequence of the "One physical axis per in-game axis" rule, the

selection of axis in the listboxes get smaller the more axis you map. If you want to exchange the

mappings of two axis you will have have to temporarily map one of them to the keyboard. in order

to select it in the other listbox.

¿ FLIGHT CONTROL TAB

Here the additional controls in the flight control tab are going to be described:

Note that you can not assign pitch and bank axis in this tab, as this selection has to be done in

the 'original' controller screen. You can, however, edit the deadzones of the pitch and bank axis.

¿ ADDITIONAL NOTES

The changes done in the advanced controller screen are saved partly in the playeroptions save

file (has the extension .pop) and a new file called "axismappings.dat", which both are located in

the /config subfolder of your Falcon4 install. If you want to clear all your mappings, either simply

delete this file or select the keyboard as primary flight controller in the 'original' controller screen.

In addition, the optional axis response curve information is stored in a file called 'axiscurves.cal'.

¿ CUSTOM AXIS SHAPING

There exists an external program that lets the user configure the response curve of any in-game

axis directly via directX. Because of this, all deadzone and saturation settings done for this axis in

the controller UI will be disregarded. To enable custom axis shaping, activate the checkbox in the

'View control' tab. If it does not light up it means that an error occured while reading in the

axiscurve file.
