X-Gamepad

Description:

X-Gamepad adds extended support for gamepads to X-Plane.
For example it allows the user to control functions like throttle, prop pitch or mixture using the relative position of an axis.
In order to facilitate the control of a complex simulation like X-Plane by gamepad, extensive use of modifier keys is made by X-Gamepad.

Instructions:

• In order to install the plugin, place the 'x_gamepad' folder in your 'X-Plane 11/Resources/plugins' folder.
• After installing the plugin you should start X-Plane and open X-Gamepad's 'Settings' window via the corresponding menu entry in X-Plane's 'Plugins' menu.
• In the settings menu select wether you are using an Xbox 360 or DualShock 4 controller.
• Click the 'Start Configuration' button and follow the instructions on the screen to let X-Gamepad set up X-Plane correctly for your controller.

Please note that X-Plane's nullzone setting will be set to a value of 15% and the sensitivity of the main control axes to 100%.
