A question on semantics?

Does fgGetdouble("/controls/flaps") return the value for the position of the
flaps or the value the flaps are commanded to? Same for gear and slats. Is
the code such that all setters work as directed and surfaces move to the
commanded postion so that actual=command?

Also, does the gear still exhibit extention/retraction delays. Is there a
fgGetDouble("/controls/gear[n]-position') or something like that which
returns a value from 0 to 1?

Note that 747 has a FLAP0 and FLAP1. No asymetric flap conditions - one
control for both?
