aerosimRC usb not recognized

Post by henryco »

Dear,

I have installed aerosim RC successfully on wine linux but there is still a problem with
the usb connection to my RX transmitter: it is not recognized in wine (according to the vendor it just needs a standard joystick driver)

so i'm trying to follow the instructions in

http://wiki.winehq.org/USB

with lsusb i found the device in the list :

Bus 001 Device 013: ID 04d8:aadd Microchip Technology, Inc.

but then i get stuck because the page says i need to "copy driver(s) and some registry keys from
Windows system where your device was installed". The problem is that i have no windows OS anymore at home...only Linux!
So alternatively can i import the files from somewhere else on the internet? other possibility appart borrowing the windows PC of someone else?

thank you

regards,

fred

You overlooked the part of that page that says
These patches are only meant for USB dongles; they will not help with other types of USB devices.
Those patches will not work for your device.
(according to the vendor it just needs a standard joystick driver)
Windows hardware drivers don't work in Wine; hardware needs to be working in the host system for Wine to see it.

OK thank you for your answer, may be i need to find a proper driver for my hardware on linux...

what is surprising is that according to the vendor the RC hardware needs only a standard joystick driver... and my linux distro recognizes correctly another joystick i have ...so i dont understand then why it does not work for this one...
