I'm starting to experiment with the joy_rot/raw values, and I tried the example in the manual for keeping the throttle within a 0-100 range. Mathematically, it's perfect, but I can't seem to get it to work.

Here's the Code:

#include <acknex.h>
#include <default.c>

fixed throttle;

PANEL* _joydiag=
{
	digits(512,364,"joyX= %1.0f",_a4font,1,joy_raw.x);
	digits(512,384,"joyY= %1.0f",_a4font,1,joy_raw.y);
	digits(512,404,"throttle= %1.0f",_a4font,1,throttle);
	flags= VISIBLE;
}

void main()
{
	video_mode= 8;
	video_screen= 1;
	screen_color.red= 1;
	wait(3);
	while(1)
	{
		throttle= 50 - (50 / 255) * joy_raw.z;
		wait(1);
	}
}


As you can see, it's a very simple test program that merely shows the values of the joystick axes. I don't understand why the red part is showing 50 instead of what the actual value should be.

Could it be an error elsewhere?

Code:
void main()
{
    cout << "I am MrCode,";
    cout << "hear me roar!";
    system("PAUSE");
}
