You can map the keyboard shortcuts to a switch on your transmitter using:

http://www.lgdb.org/tool/antimicro (Linux)

http://joytokey.net/en/ (Windows)

Regarding the second question - I would be hesitant to add a function to turn off the internal calibration in Freerider since it would mainly just risk causing trouble to 99,5% of the users.

However you might be able to create a script that will reset them (or set them to a specific value). I believe the calibration values can be found somewhere under /home/your user/.config/unity3d

Thanks for the links. I'm following the other topics, too, so I already stumbled across them. Antimicro is not part of the standard repository, so I tried to avoid it for my first try. The joystick package seems to provide everything relevant expect an user interface ;)

Thanks for the hint towards the calibration file, I'll take a look at it as soon as I find some time. I understand that a checkbox is maybe confusing people more than it helps. However, I would be happy to solve the calibration issue. What about a command-line parameter to turn internal calibration off?

As a software developer I'm very curious to take a look into the code and figure out how it works and what's going wrong. Is there any option to get access to the source code? Are you interested in getting help from other developers?

All the best,
Stefan

I guess a command line parameter might be possible, although as far as I know it is not so easy to read custom command line parameters in a standalone Unity build. Think a plugin might be needed, and, it may not work equally on all operating systems. So, it's not a path I would want to go unless it's absolutely necessary.

Since I use Unity for development I do not have direct access to the input, I use Unity's input manager. So, if it is correct as I read on another forum (that there is some kind of bug in Unity's joystick input on Linux) there might not be so much I can do about it myself. It would in that case be something that the Unity team would need to look into.

Hope the stored calibration values can be useful as a possible work-around.
