How a parking brake on small aircraft works:
Well, from my experience I'd say there are almost as many different
types of small-aircraft parking brakes as there are different
manufacturers. I remember having flown at least six different types of
small aircraft by three
then a six-seat single turboprop.
Cheers,

Agreed, but the as you are saying, the brake is hydraulic and therefore
there will always be a valve that traps the hydraulic fluid and keeps the
pressure on the brake pistons. This valve will always only be fully closed
in the end

No.
At least the older C172's are having mechanically operated parking
brake levers which apply force onto the same hydraulic master

I see, I am sure there are more. I must admit I am more familiar with
aircraft that are a bit more modern then the models you mention.
I've flown at least two rather modern aircraft (different types) but I
still prefer the aged ones for their style and atmosphere - and
How could I think that parking brakes would have been such a hot topic??!! :-)
Anyway, I appreciate the long detailed point of views. It's clear to me I have
to be generic enough with this input device.
Well, it's going to stay as a 'double' but not a 24bit resolution anyway!

Hi everybody,
it's a few weeks I'm dealing with a few analog to digital converters, I'm
using them to convert external analog signals and use them as inputs to
FlightGear controls.
I'm wondering which resolution is best when dealing with properties of type
double. My analog values get

Hi,
I've been using 12 bit resolution. Need it since I'm also operating with
a control force loading system and autopilot. If you go to 12 bits
suggest you get some high res, multi-turn pots or some other systems

Think of it this way, determine the angular travel of your control
stick; for 8bits divide by 256; for 12 bits divide by 4096. That defines
the resoluion., i.e. degrees per bit. So then you have to decide how
good is your sensor in defining the control stick location. If you can't

I can tell you from experience with many users during our LinuxTag and
FSweekend presentations that you need
- for throttle: 1 bit (full/idle)
- for Mixture: 1 bit(full rich/cutoff)
- for RPM: allway full (constant)
