It looks like we're almost there with the surface positions. JSBSim and YASim are using the following properties, apparently in the same way:
/surface-positions/elevator-pos-norm /surface-positions/flap-pos-norm /surface-positions/left-aileron-pos-norm /surface-positions/right-aileron-pos-norm /surface-positions/rudder-pos-norm There is what might be a JSBSim config-file error for the C310: when the ailerons are centered, JSBSim reports /surface-positions/right-aileron-pos-norm at -.677422, which is clearly wrong; the problem does not occur for the C172. The only inconsistency left is gear position: JSBSim: /gear/gear[n]/position YASim: /gear/gear[n]/position-norm They both agree on using 1.0 for down and 0.0 for up, though, and that's good news. As soon as this last problem is fixed, I'll switch the animations over and we'll have smooth flap and gear movement. In fact, if the FDM people want to get really clever, they can have the gear retract and extend slightly out of sync so that they lock up or down about .5 sec apart.
