[Paparazzi-devel] Joystick question

[Chris]

Hi.
Although i had it working in the past it seems that i am getting old and 
forget things.
I am trying to make the joystick control the plane in a new installation 
and although everything else is working fine and i can change blocks and 
variables from the joystick buttons, the axis message seems dead (RC_4CH).
I cannot control pitch, roll etc it almost looks like the message is not 
transmitted or processed.
Running ivyprobe shows that the Joystick is sending the message but i 
can't understand if this is
passed to the simulator.
Any ideas of what i am doing wrong?
(i promise to write instruction in the wiki about joystick usage)

Below is part of my airframe showing that datalink is selected as radio 
control type
<target name="ap"             board="twog_1.0"/>
<target name="sim"             board="pc"/>
