Re: Which PS3 controller to get
I have used a wired PS2 controller with a SmartJoy adapter (they are no longer manufactured). It works on both Win7 and Ubuntu Linux. I just picked up an Afterglow AP.2 wireless PS3 controller and it worked out of the box. Working great on Ubuntu, haven't tried on Win7 yet.

Re: Which PS3 controller to get
Hello All,
The Logitech Wireless Gamepad F710 is also working (tested under Ubuntu). I had to struggle a bit to get all controls on the "right" place (I'm used to mode 2: yaw and throttle on the left stick).
As mentioned, CF Client hangs whenever altering control layout. As far as I coud see, CR's are added in the config files when changing the layout in CF Client (?), so I finally edited the config file in a text editor. This doesn't give any error when starting the CF.
Only after, did I notice that using the Generic_OS_X layout was also doing the job !
BTW: I'm used to have throttle on "ratchet" rather than on "spring": does anyone know how to modify the Gamepad to do this ?

Hi Pierre,
Are you running the latest version from the repo or are you using the package downloaded from Bitbucket? What Ubuntu version are you on?

If I understand correctly the whole client hangs when you just switch the layout from the menu Input device->Mappings? Are you seeing this when connected or disconnected?dr.livingstone wrote:As mentioned, CF Client hangs whenever altering control layout.
