- Using the provided Falcon Analogue Setup Files (Obey Files) for Elite :
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Run the Analogue driver module. Run the !Falcon RISC OS setup application.
-
- For 2 button joysticks, drag 'FA_Elite2' on to the Falcon Icon. For 4 button
- joysticks drag 'FA_Elite4' onto the Falcon Icon. You will need to adjust the
- calibration for your joystick - see your printed or online hypertext manual.
-
- Now save the Setup file away again, and double click it to use it when
- playing Elite : Remember the hot key Left Shift + Left Alt to turn Mouse and
- Key emulation on or off, if it gets in the way of other Elite screens like
- trading etc. or the desktop itself.
-
- Use Elite in the CAPS LOCK ON mode for the given setup file.
-
- 2 Button Mode
- Joystick Left and Right : smooth roll - use to match the rotation speed of
- the space station for turbo docking !
- Joystick Forward and Back : fine up / down control, use to pin point
- fleeing enemies before reducing them to their component parts.
- Main trigger fire : lasers fire.
- Top fire button : Speed Up
- Both Fires together ('virtual' C button) : Slow Down.
-
- 4 Button Mode
- Joystick Movement as above.
- Main Trigger : Laser Fire
- Top Fire : 'E' ECM instantly available
- Additional Buttons : Speed up and slow down.
-
- As you get more practised at setting up Falcon files, with a 4 button stick
- you can set up missile targeting 'T' and firing 'M' as the extra 'virtual'
- buttons C and D. This means you can have a total of 4 functions from just 2
- buttons, all provided by the Falcon.
-
- Also : Some joysticks (quite expensive ones) provide a 'top hat' which is a
- joystick on a joystick. This can be setup to look around the crafts views as
- intended with Keys F1 to F4.
