I know that Allegro has some extra functions which work with the CH FS-Pro
joystick. But will these work with any of the multi-function joystick, or
only the FS-Pro? I ask because I've been checking out the local stores,
non of which have the FS-Pro, but lots of other of the more elaborate
joysticks (like MS's Sidewinder).
Alternatively, is it possible to get Allegro to work with two joysticks?
I mainly ask because I've been writing a small space-flight simulation,
which means 6 degrees of freedom, and overloading things with keysyms and
the mouse gets awkward.
And a final question, is it common to get noise from the joystick? I can
leave the joystick in the neutral position, not even touching it, and
every now and again the joystick position will jump to non-zero values for
one update, and then return to zero. I'm assuming it's just noise from
joystick, but I can't be certain.
