In the <control-output> section of the yasim files, you can map the output range to anything you like. By default, YASim will represent a rudder deflection to the left (i.e. the flap goes left, and causes the nose to yaw to the left) as positive. We never got around to fixing a standard for this stuff. I'm pretty sure that under the current YASim configurations, a positive /controls/rudder input from the joystick will produce a /surface-positions/rudder-norm of the same sign. That seems rational to me, so I hereby hand the bug off to the JSB folks to fix or further deflect. :) In other news, I think I've got a 2.95.2 build that fails the same way yours does. I'm still at the "yup, it don't work" stage, though. No analysis yet. Andy -- Andrew J.
