SpaceNavigator settings for SL

After much waiting and such like, here, finally, are my settings to get the SpaceNavigator working within SL.


Firstly, we have the settings for the RBC9 driver. As you can see I've just mapped the SpaceNavigator axis almost randomly ;) Just make sure you map to the joystick axis of X,Y,Z, and rX, rY and rZ.




Secondly, we have the settings from within Second Life itself. The 'Joystick Flycam' is found within the 'Client' menu (CTRL+ALT+D to turn it on, if you haven't got it).

Here are my settings:

Hello ..

great work you did. I bought my Spacenavigator today after reading your post yesterday. I have results with some other settings.

i have uploaded them here

and if you cant read it use
this link

also i have to say the installation (described in the 3dconnection forum) is is a bit different under xp but (i had to do 2 restarts) after the driver install to see
the new devices in the device manager, (HID Keyboard device
and a HID-Compliant Mouse and in my Game Controllers Menu) but if you follow the instructions (and think a bit) it is ok.

BTW i can provide the bindings for the RBC9 driver which your readers could import but no place to upload. Mayby you have space for the .bind file ( 504 byte ) or you provide yours.

best regards and thank you very much for the inspiration ..

best regards
