You are right about that of course. And using a separate channel is also a better idea. (And in some AP implementations, not the kap140, the AP is disengaged if the controls are moved a certain amount or with a certain force. But that's beside the kap140 issue.) Noice from the js should be handled elsewhere: deadzone or filtering ...or simply bin old worn-out joysticks with dodgy sensors. ;) > OTOH if we're not that much after exact internal modelling, we might as > well use the trim channel ;-) The piloting of the aircraft, including AP, should be realistic. In this case that involves adjusting the pitch trim (manually) -- why there are warning lights for it on the kap140 panel (irl and in the sim) to inform him/her that the pitch trim needs to be adjusted to avoid unpleasent surprises when the AP is disengaged. So it isn't about internal modelling, but rather external such. ;) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
