I'm currently creating a little simulation. I actually wanted to use a joystick with 4 axes, but when I looked up in the command reference i noticed that there are only 3 axes avalable! Is it really impossible to use all 4 axes of my joystick with blitz 3d? Or is there a way to implantate a forth axe?

yes, just create a quick app that shows all the joyx, y, z, pitch , roll and yaw and you'll find where the axis are.

Look for pongo's dual stick configuration program in the archives. Very useful. Stevie

Thanks steve for the tip, this is awsome :D You used that also for your "Engine test" didn't you?

I built my own for the verlet thing but it's pretty much the same code as Troy's.
