Joystick Flycam with Mac

Hi All,

I am trying to use the joystick Flycam under the client menu with a SpaceNavigator device, and xbox360 Controller.... both of which I have installed drivers for and are working on the Mac itself (a Macbook running OS X Tiger).

Here is the wiki which describes the SL Flycam: https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Flycam

At present I cannot get SL to pick up either of the devices... it's really frustrating... they work in the OS (the drivers have built in tests) but I get nothing when I open the flycam in SL.

I was wondering if anyone else has tried this and if so how did they go about it?

Thank you in advance.

I don't believe that drivers for Mac OS X are implemented in SL at present. In my case, my game controller (Logitech Dual Action) is said to be for OS X, but in reality it has no valid drivers.

I've downloaded the third-party shareware GamePad Controller, but all it appears to do is emulate keypresses based on the gamepad inputs, so it doesn't really offer the input that SL would need to show a valid joystick for the flycam.

I get the feeling that Flycam was developed on a whim, and has been left to founder without developer support to finish it. :/
