Hi,
I am trying to model the A320 flaps. I has 5 positions but in the
keyboard or joystick bindings, each time I hit the flap down button,
/controls/flight/flaps is increased by rawly 1/3, leading to only
four possibilities. Would it be possible to make the increment

I know Falcon 4.0 is pretty poor when talking about phisics. It uses
only primitive static tables, but these are very worked on though.
FlightGear is way much better on this one!
